brackish fish that when mature do best in full seawater. not sure if you saw mono. sebae or argenteus. hardy fish but not advised for your aro tank.

When they grow, they need to be house in marine tank, dun think can com with aro. Can get pretty big, u see the wisma atria basement marine tank, there is a shoal of them inside, pretty big in size.

wrong. sorry but that is just bad advice... "just because someone is doing it means it's okay."?

Still small can com but when it become bigger, it need salt water, i din think aro can survive in marine setup. Hence in long run both r not compatible as tank mate

the fish CAN live in FW into adulthood, but lifespan will be shorter than usual. they will not thrive.
