Ok, I want a fish for my dorm room. The max tank im allowed is 29g. The idea of keeping something like a beta or gold fish seems like 50 steps back and just boring. Of course im on a budget as a college student, also in Seattle im basically limited to a couple petcos as to what I can keep. One of them has a very tiny Undy trigger (~2"). I was thinking about a 29g standard long size (24x12x18 or whatever) with 2 powerheads and either a seaclone 100 skimmer or just a penguin 70 BW filter. Its basically within walking distance so I have access to frozen foods and salt and id do 20% water changes a week. Im a communications major with more free time on my hands than I know what to do with, and I have the time to commit, also I do go to a 'christian' college so no drinking in the dorms so know retard knocking over the tank or trying to see if my fish would drink beer. Id go with only about 10ish pounds of LR (petco LR is kind of sketch already) and itd be a species only tank with plenty of flow and swimming room.
I know im going to set off all sorts of trigger police sirens, but I want realist answers. Please dont warn me that this fish is going to grow to be a foot long... I know, I plan on giving him to a happy home over the summer. I know someone on my dorm with a 300g FOWLR thatd love to have it.
I miss SW fishkeeping and love triggers for their puppy like personality. Im looking for input on people that have kept this fish in smaller tanks, I've seen it done before and I know this is going to jar a couple feathers but like for good ideas, I know buying a fish you do not intend to keep is a bad idea, but he'll be well loved and well taken care of...
