Malayan Angels

[markandhisfish]

i recently purchased 2 malayan angels from my lfs £7.95 each

1st is this a fair price? more importantly though the owner of the shop told me they can be kept either freshwater or brackish , now i trust my lfs as they have always given me sound advice before but when i looked at these fish on the web it stated that brackish water was essential. at the moment they are in a freshwater setup are about 3" and seem to be doing fine, will this remain the case or am i going to have problems with them? i hope to be able to keep them as they are stunning fish with real character ( every time i approach the tank they come to the front as if to say hello!)
also would rather not have to net them cos god they are fast !!!!

yes these are brakcish, and are called more comonly called "mono's" check out the brackish section and they will give you more info on them but i know they are defo brackish, but like anybrackihs fish they can live in freshwater for a certain amount of time.
