but im not even talking about it being ethical either so much because it is quite obviously not. Im talking about even possible because of the bio load. Plus an eel in a tank that small would escape as soon as it got the chance. lol. But i would like to know where you heard this information. I just dont think it is correct is all IMO.

huh..... :notsure: i happen to think it is unethical and happen to disagree entirly as far as it being foor for your tank. But that is my own opinion.

Oh, I totally find it wrong and everything, I am just stating, as well as Treybom that we have seen it done. Does that mean its right? ABSOLUTELY NOT. However, it has been done. But no need to worry, he will be transfering it to his mom's 125 when it gets too big for his tank.

ya i definetely am not suggesting every1 to go out and get a 30 and plop a sfe in it but im just saying that ive seen it on this site several times however on every other site ive seen the smallest recommended fish tank size is 55
