Perfect Brackish Puffer Tankmates?

[Black Widow]

Found these fish species to be very pleasant and shoaling so thats good too, these fish can live in brackish water anything upto full marine.

Very Placid and non aggressive, I think these would make great tank mates for brackish puffers but they will however need lots of space to swim in and a shoaling group of 5 - 6 minimum is best to ensure the fish feel secure:

There are 2 species in particular: Monodactylus argenteus - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_moony:






and Monodactylus sebae - http://www.aquariumpassion.com/profiles ... sebae.html:






I am planning to get shoal for argenteus for my tank

Not really that perfect... They grow as large as your outstretched hand, need to be in a school. That means abotut 300g for them. Still will get picked on by the more aggressive GSPs & F8s do best in low-end BW, where the monos get to marine as adults.

If you're getting a massive tank for a shoal then a shoal of scats and/or columbian shark catfish would go very well with them.

Yeah, most people can't get a 300 gallon tank....
Those fish are kind of spooky too, a gsp would stress them out.

+1 to everything that has been said. Definitely not a good idea for puffer tank mates.

PS: Great one on the rock picture, I love it

+1 to Flutter's comments.

I have seen one tank of M. sebae where the fish looked good and were full-sized. It was about the size of this room. it was also a species tank.

That is not a hobby tank.
