can Monodactylus argenteus and sebae live their whole lives in brackish water or do they need to be acclimated to saltwater when they are fully grown? if kept in brackish water will they stay happy? also what is the normal size for one of these fish? i know in the wild they can get pretty big but fish in an aquarium tend to stay smaller. so any ideas on how big that usually get in an aquarium? Thanks all.
Monodactylus argenteus and sebae water salinity question
- Thread starter robert.mccook.elm
- Start date
I've got a pair of mono argenteus that I have had for 4 years. They are about 4.5" h x 5" l. My salinity is 1.018 - 1.020.
Mystic aquarium has a round tank with about 300 schooling monos - nothing else. Very cool. Very few are bigger than 5".
I've got monos, scats, Columbian shark cats and datinoids together. I'm not sure whether it is typical of scats - all six are similar ages - the silver are the largest, the red are about half their size and the green scat are the smallest.
