Ethical kole tang dilemma

[Borderjumper]

I say keep him. You said he seemed happy in the cube, you would know if he's unhappy.

[Wingin It]

keep him and make him happy

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

Keep him & let him live out his life with his buddy, Doug

[StirCrazy]

bah, he is small, I wouldn't sweat it. keep him and enjoy him.

Definitely keep him. Before long either you or Mike will have yet another (larger) tank anyways

I'm no expert - I've only been in this hobby a bit under 2 years (no casualties so far probably thanks to invincible fish). This is my 2 cents worth..

Logic would say that if you've known him for 8 years you'd know what his normal behaviour is and you'd be well aware if he was stressed.

As it is, you say he seemed happy enough in the 34, so he probably is... I'd keep him and save him the stress of having to get used to a new tank owner and housemates.

I know it's against the 'rules' to have him in that size tank, and in no way would I suggest going out and getting one for a tank of that size, but you've not been irresponsible, and you've ended up in the situation anyway. You just have to make the best call you can.

As the saying goes: "Rules are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men."

I'm still trying to work out which heading I come under..

Thanks for the post all. Those are pretty well my views also, at least in this particular situation and not as a general belief.

He will be the sole grazer and as I,m redoing it, will try to make his swimming as best I can with an open area and a clear path behind. He seems to be more of small angel type swimmer. In and out of the rock grazing everywhere.

I can say for sure as my clowns will tell you, he will be spoiled.
