Just wondering what everybody's stance is on keeping juvenile fish in "smaller than recommended tanks" until it gets too big? For example, keeping a small tang until it outgrows the tank and then trading it back into the fish store? My LFS is really pushing "renting" fish for a few years and then trading them back in when they outgrow their current space. I never really thought about going that route but it seems like all the fish I want will eventually grow too big for my 60 gallon reef tank. Is there anything wrong with keeping a quarter sized tang (or any larger fish...it was a good example since people are so sensitive with the tangs :bigsmile: ) in a 60 gallon tank and then removing it as it grows to big? Yes, I know I should have bought a larger tank if I wanted larger fish....too late for that.
Looking for opinions to tell me it is or isn't a good idea.
Thanks.
