Scientific name for a mono?

[jaysono]

So I was at the lfs last night and saw an interesting wedge shaped fish. Think of an Angel fish with it's fins clipped, or a stealth bomber flying on its side.

It was call something like an Semae(?) Mono, and it was in a tank with a bunch of Tetra's. Looked awesome, but lfs owner said they are quick swimmers and 'may' harass danio's, which seemed surprising since danio's are pretty fast themselves.

But they were very peacful co-exsiting with the tetra's. Anyone have an idea on what they were?

Monodactylus Argenteus

BTW- It is a BRACKISH water fish.

There's monodactylus argentus and monodactylus sebae they're actually marine fish, and need high end BW for the first year of their life and then they migrate into SW.

Thanks for the replies....but it may be outta my league until I get a larger tank. I didn't realize it got so big.
