The mono and archer are fish that likes to live around their own kind for one, but the second part is the mono does grow up in size and is going to look for something like a 58/68 tank later in life. They need the room
Just fyi

i may be just seeing things, but did you say you have created a brackish tank environment using "aquarium salt"?.....if that's the case then you really should read up on brackish tank setups...you need "marine salt" for a brackish environment.....
if that's what your using then forgive me for seeing out of old eyes.....)

+1, aquarium salt is not going to do jack for turning your tank brackish, only 'marine salt' can do that.
the ph increase is also something that comes with making a tank brackish, it just happens.FRENCH FRY!!!

i'm not sure who/whom the "people say" are...but they are wrong....you have to have marine salt in order to be brackish.....
aquarium salt conditions the water nicely for some fish but it won't make it brackish i'm sorry to say.....
this is a quote from the salt water expert here that has puffers

Just make sure it's sea salt or marine salt, NOT aquarium salt. There is a difference.
There are several brands available. I use instant ocean, that's my preference.Last edited by fishlady; 05-19-2009, 03:21 PM.

i think ima hop on some instant ocean tomorrow or so. all the LFS ive been to, they said aquarium salt should be fine as long as specific gravity is correct. i needa get a hydrometer and instant ocean or something tomorrow.Last edited by muuunkeeyy; 05-20-2009, 01:02 AM.
