Housing: Aquariums 200ltr & over are recommended. they are a schooling fish so keeping them in a group is ideal.

Comments: Mono Argentus can be aggressive so be mindful not to overstock with too many aggressive fish types. They eat plants so it is not recommended to scape your tank with plants if you are considering this fish. Grate for algae control (hair & string). Do well in African cichlid tanks so long as it’s not overstocked.
