Thank you

Some people say its fine and purists like to argue...no.
I just wanted to hear pro's and cons. The fish is not juvenile at already 6 inches.
I don't find the 'top space' useless as I see today that he swims at all levels and is all over the tank. Up and down and through and around the rocks. Maybe in a longer tank they are encouraged by the space to swim back and forth so I agree tank shape has alot of input.
As usual, when I bought the fish I asked about minimum tank size and was told 55g, but I figured that was incorrect. But of course he was just so darned pretty!

Many thanks, I was wanting a response to this before I left for work today, to ease my mind a bit,so excuse me for getting a bit snarky.

DrBDC: You've eased my mind to a degree, I will try awhile and see and if probs, I'll do whats best for him. I also will keep rock at low profile so to allow more swimming area. Thanks again.
