Silver Moony Fish Aquarium 2021

Mono Fish
Silver Moony, Moonfish, Mono Argentus
Family: Monodactylidae
The Mono Monodactylus argenteus is a beautiful silvery fish that definitely has a place in any brackish aquarium. This Silver Moony is one of the aquarium favourites. It is a good-sized fish, deep-bodied and laterally compressed with an attractive roundish diamond shape.
Overall the Mono Fish is silver in colour highlighted with a light yellow on the dorsal, anal and tail fins. Two vertical black stripes adorn the front, one running through the eye and a second across the gill. When they are young they also have a bright yellow dorsal fin which adds to their appeal. The disc-like shape and shiny silver colour have led to all sorts of descriptive common names like Silver Moony, Silver Moonfish, Silver Batfish, Diamond Moonfish, Diamondfish, Fingerfish, Kitefish, and even Malayan Angel.
They are all big, attractively patterned, and very durable. Almost every brackish aquarium will include at least one of these types. This Moony will grow up to about 6 inches (15 cm) in the aquarium. They must be kept in schools, however, as individuals are too nervous to be kept on their own. But they are peaceful shoaling fish and a school of these fish are a beautiful sight. Mono's and Scats mix well with each other too, and a mixed school of these species can be kept with great success.
If kept correctly, a school of Mono Argentus will give you many years of enjoyment. The Mono is suggested for a more experienced fish keeper because of their need to change water conditions as they age. Some Moon Fish will survive for a while in a freshwater environment when young, but as adults, they really are brackish water fish. Adults can even be acclimated to a full saltwater environment. If you are up for that challenge these fish are easy to feed and will take a variety of foods.
Mono Fish are lively and entertaining to watch, but they are also timid and easily frightened. Keep them with peaceful tank mates, but not too little as they may eat smaller fish. They are hearty eaters and enjoy a variety of foods from live and frozen foods to flakes, and will even munch on lettuce and spinach.
The Mono Fish is suggested for a more experienced fish keeper as they must be kept in strongly brackish or marine aquariums. A great deal of experience is needed to successfully house these fish, but for an experienced aquarist, they will present no particular problems. To successfully change water conditions as the fish ages can be a challenge. In addition to a good-sized tank, the only other requirement is clean, well-filtered water. If you are up for that challenge these fish are easy to feed and will take a variety of foods."
