Just remember that there are more than 1 type of Monos. These are Monodactylus Sebae. They can be a brackish water fish/ saltwater fish/ freshwater fish. Make sure you get ones that are compatable with your setup.

If you type in Mono Sebae in any search engine you can find tons of info on them. I kept them years ago, but I kept them in a marine tank. They are a brackish water fish, but do very well in full salt water tanks. They actually get a touch more color in salt water. From what I remember they were a fairly peaceful fish. I kept them with Scats, and Orange Chromides.

Right there are several species. The most colorful( if you want to call it that) is the Sebae. These are the ones I kept.
