How long would a Hoeven's Wrasse be ok in a 29g?

Hoeven's Wrasse
(Halichoeres melanurus)

in a 30x12x18" standard 29g. Like a year or so if I picked up a small juvie?

Thx

ps. please, realistic answers and if you don't have anything nice to say, please don't comment. I'm sure some fellow hobbyists would take it off my hands when it gets to big.

I think it would be fine if you picked up a small one, but then again, I just put a 5 line wrasse in my 30 cube. It seems to have settled well and it's cruising the rockwork continuously.

ok thanks. I didn't know if this question would generate "hate" comments or not. I thought it better to ask than to just try it to see what happens.
