About
The Mono Argentus, also known as the Silver Moony, is a distinctively shaped, schooling fish with a shimmering silver body and often dark-tipped fins, especially when young. They have a compressed, disc-like body shape. Juveniles are often found in freshwater or brackish conditions, while adults prefer brackish to full marine environments. They are active swimmers and thrive in groups.
