Moreover, the fundamental problem is that the real "experts" often outright lie and provide false, materially inaccurate, or incomplete information about minimum tank size. The leading reference books published by Scott Michaels on marine fish usually in all instances provide inaccurate minimum tank size information which is so grossly undersized in many instances that no experienced hobbyist would think it appropriate to keep such fish in such a small system. Moreover, the leading on-line fish vendor, Live Aquaria, who also maintains the peteducation.com website, in most instances has minimum tank size information which materially mirrors that of Scot Michaels while at the same time taking a leadership role in publishing pet educational materials that the company claims is relied upon by hobbyists, accademics, and researchers. The experts appear to be outright deceiving the hobbyists for financial gain. As such, you are much better relying on experienced hobbyists views here on minimum tank size for fish than those of these so-called "experts". In fact, when I recently made a big public stink about this issue with LIve Aquaria, they came forward and revised the minimim tank size information for a whole group of fish by well beyond 100% after providing the prior inaccurate information for years. |

Abril, my girlfriend, says that Todd is always right. I'm closing this now.
