My Tank Thread
I'm not saying it's wrong to keep the fish, or wrong to purposefully set up temp quarters. Heck, I do it occasionally.
I am saying that there are limits to what may be "ethical". Is 3-6 months ethical? Not my call to make. I wouldn't do it but that has nothing to do with everyone else's decisions. A 10 gallon tank for a tang for a few months? I mean it's better than a 5 gallon for 10 months but I feel like there are more optimal homes for that fish (to use an extreme example of my point)
I mean this is just my .02. That and $0.50 might buy you a cup of coffee.
