You know, I've also read that these guys need large tanks or death is inevitable. However, like I stated previously, I've had 2 of them in my 40g for going on 2 years. If such a large tank is a must, then how am I getting away with having 2 in such a small tank? On top of having small tank, the vast majority of my SSB is covered with LR (over 80 lbs in a 40g).

Not trying to start any arguements here, just wondering how this is possible..
