Comments
Monos are brackish water fish. They can adapt to living in either freshwater or saltwater but do best in brackish water, which is fresh water with
about 1 Tablespoon of Aquarium Salt per each 5 gallons of water. Click
here for more information about Aquarium Salt. Monos are very energetic, mildly aggressive, and have huge appetites. Feed them several times a day with live or frozen food. They will usually eat some flake
food. Feed them flakes first, the live or frozen food.

Appropriate Home
Eventually a large aquarium with at least 50 gallons of water, an
exterior
power filter with a BIO-Wheel, a maximum of 1/4 inch of
gravel, an
aquarium
heater adjusted to keep the water between 78 and 82 degrees F., and at least 1 Tablespoon of
aquarium salt per each
5 gallons of aquarium water. Click

Recommended Diet
When they're hungry Monos may eat floating flake food for tropical fish
that is sold in stores
that sell pet fish. Monos. will also eat
freeze dried blood worms and
freeze dried shrimps and
krill, but they relish
live and frozen brine
shrimp. Click
here for more about feeding fish.

Compatibility
Monos. enjoy each others company. They often look startled when you move close to an aquarium to look at them. They're more comfortable
in a group with at least 3 other Monos, and a group of 6 is even better, but then 6 Monos will eventually require a really big aquarium. Monos. are compatible with most other brackish water fish such as
Archers,
Scats,
Puffers,
Fan Dancer Gobies, and
White Tip
Shark Cats.

Size and Lifespan
Rarely bigger than 6" in aquariums but seen 18", and they probably grow even larger. They will live 6 to 10 years,
possibly longer when given excellent care. |

About our Fish Photographs ...
|
|
Almost all the photographs and videos, shown on this web site, were taken
by us in our aquariums of our fish. Compare the healthy,
beautiful, energetic fish in our beautiful aquariums to the
fish in our competitors pictures. Their fish often look thin
with clamped fins and poor color.
We buy the highest quality fish, produced by the best fish
farms or caught by the best collectors of wild fish, then we take incredibly good care of our fish in our beautiful aquariums. If you compare the pictures on this site to our competitors pictures, you can instantly see, our fish and aquariums are better!
