After several months, I found another small Monodactylus Kottelati (1.125 inch standard length)
at my LFS- in freshwater(!) I waited a few weeks to see if it would perish at the LFS,
but it remained vigorous.
This Mono has adjusted well in the first few days in my tank.
The water is kept at 1.003 SG which has been working well for
a community of an Archerfish (T. Microlepsis- 1.875 inch), Swordtail (male),
3 Tetras, 2 Rasboras, 2 Corydoras, and an Oto.
I may raise the salt level to 1.005 SG or higher as M. Kottelati is a marine/brackish variety.
This Mono has not been inclined to bully the Archerfish, or any of the smaller tankmates.
Perhaps he will get more pugnacious when (if?) he gets bigger...
