... Do Mono fish, archer fish and knight gobies grow? do they go with Figure 8 Puffers?
Thanks

For Monos, Archers it very much depends on species.

 

[nmonks]

The common archerfish species get to at least 12 cm in captivity, and two of the three species around 15-20 cm in captivity. Wild fish supposedly get much bigger, but that doesn't happen often in aquaria.

Monos likewise seem to get to about 15 cm in home aquaria, though specimens in public aquaria often seem to be closer to 20 cm in length.

Knight gobies reach a maximum length of about 7-8 cm.

Mixing any fish with Figure-8 puffers is a gamble; that said, many people do, and things work out. But do have a Plan B up your sleeve in case your specimen turns out to be a bit nippy.

Cheers, Neale

Hi

I had one Molly in my Figure 8 Tank and believe it or not my Figure 8 got so harassed by that Molly I had to give the Molly to my LFS.

He now lives with a few Gobies and one small Archer. But every Puffer is different.

Like Neale says have a plan B up your sleeve.

Do they take a while to get this big or are they fast growers?

Monos grow fast, if you don't have the tank space now, I would really go in another direction
