How old and how large are your monos?

[moose1960]

I picked them up a few weeks ago, they were at Big Als in Barrie for about 2 months they said. Sebeas about 1 inch, Argentus about 1 1/2~2, scats aprox 2, sharks about 5~6 inches

I use windex to clean the glass it works well. Do not spray it on the glass or around the tank though, windex is very harmful to fish.

Goldfish did you get my PM?
I was using windex with ammonia...lol but stopped that, tried those glass wipes and have to use about 3 or 4 to get streak free. Darn salt makes a mess...lol

[goldfish freak]

I just noticed that I got a pm, thanks for letting me know. I know what you mean about he salt, lol.

lookin good!
can't wait to get my 50gal cycled, so i can get some mono argentus to go with my scat and school of archers :)

how is the Big Al's in Barrie?
i live right by the one in scarboro.

It seemed alright. i have only been to Whitbys which was smaller, and hamiltons which was busyer. I heard Scarboros was the biggest in Ont so i want to check it out some time. They gave me a good deal on the Monos and scats, cause they said no one wants brackish fish. So I didnt mind...lol

[Huyzel]

the one in mississagua is big and nice too!
better than the one in scarboro i think.

they gave you a deal on your fish? sweet!
i'll prolly go to PJ's pet center on a wednesday, for their buy 2get1free nite, when i decide to pick up some mono's.

oh ya... what size tank do you have them in?
looks nice.
i might have to get some of those shark catfish too :)

I have them in a 55 which they will outgrow. I do 20% water change at least every 2 days to ensure good quality till bio load catches up. Remember the sharks can also get to a foot long each. They all get along good and sometimes I swear they play follow the leader with the sharks.

[Huyzel]

I'm gonna have them in a 55 as well.
but of course i'll have to upgrade.
which i fully intend to do. :)

Nice pictures! I like how you arranged the pictures with the names, for people like me who do not know enough about brackish fish, but is always open to learning. Thanks.

Hey Moose1960, It looks like you are feeding those monos well. Nice full bellies, thats what I like to see :) . It amazes me how much they can eat :eek: .

[tetraodon]

Nice fish! How big is your tank?

[moose1960]

Goldfish Freak:
I am amazed how much they eat also...I thought the sharks were gluttons, these guys beat them in the race for food.I feed flakes,froxen (BW,BS,plankton,krill) and starting beefheart.

tetraodon:
they are in a 55g which I know will be too small for them in the future.

Hey that reminds me I have to buy some more frozen ocean plankton for my Monos.
