Were all guilty of keeping glassboxs and just because there healthy and happy don't make it ok but are any of us going to go home tonight and shut our tanks down well no I doubt it but what I'm trying to say is the ends do not justify the means but we all love doing it so We are and forever will be guilty of playing god. I for one love it and will continue to do it

I agree. Providing a good environment for our "prisoners" doesn't make it right, but it's the least we can do.

I find it a little funny that this conversation went from "The tang police are wrong" to "It's wrong to keep fish at all" and then to "I know it's wrong to keep fish from the ocean in our small glass boxes, but without evidence that they need an immense amount of room, the least we can do is blindly make them as comfortable as possible in our own opinions".

Not trying to stir the pot too much, but some of you have gone back to the tang police standard, of no refutable proof they require the room, but it's still wrong to keep them in a small tank.
