[quote author=reiple link=board=Fish;num=1101609239;start=15#15 date=12/01/04 at 15:15:42]Forcing fish in a small tank is not impossible. However in the interest of providing the best living conditions it is better to give them sufficient swim space and the volume of water will make the tank more stable. I'm sure there are even people who can keep even sharks in a small tank. But is it the right living condition for this animals? This reminds me of the goldfish in a bowl fad.

Aquariums are already ipossibly small in comparison o the ocean.....I had a single lion in a small tank for many many years.....he seemed perfectley content. Forming thoughts that fish have the smae sort of emotional processes that humans do is proposterous, their concept of a small tank is justy that...no more no less....no depression or anything. If it isnt stressed by the enviorment i say its fine. Besides ild rather live in my bedroom my whole life than wander the streets scavaging for meals and fearing for my life every second. What about you a; nice cozy bedroom with regular meals (be it small but safe and secure non-theless)....or hunting animals for food constantly watching over your shoulder to the point of paranoid insanity....The sheltered life of blissfull ignorance for me (if i were a dwarf lionfish...
)
