Okay ...
Interesting post, but time to shut'er down.
No flaming allowed - and this is very close to that point IMO.
I hope everyone has had a chance to voice their opinions and frustrations, and you are all naturally allowed to your own personal opinions -
It is YOUR tank YOUR choice ..... and I stand by that.
Any fish from the ocean placed into any tank in our homes is too small an environment considering where they come from.
Any fish ... any size .... any tank.
Aside from tank raised species - none of us has a right to point an "accusing" finger at our fellow hobbyiests. Each of us will justify keeping our fish in whatever terms that we are comfortable with.
Every one of our HOME tanks is too small if you ask me.
So to each his/her own, and try to give your fish as much swimming room as possible, and care for it's individual needs the best you can.
