besides being inappropriate, really, it's silly to get so worked up over someone disagreeing with you, clay. I think the point people were trying to make isn't that you CAN'T keep them in a ten gallon tank, but that at the size they can get to, they might appreciate a little more room to swim. You said yourself that they are very active animals. We provide tank space based on the maximum size of an adult fish and how active it is, why not for an amphibian that could reach 12-14 inches? That's about the size of an adult koi or pleco, i believe, and they aren't kept in 10 gallons.
anyway, if you disagree so strongly that you have to curse me out, feel free. I'm above being affected by someone who can't civilly tell me why they have an opposing opinion. Just remember that years of research doesn't stand up to experience and if you've never given the animals a bigger space than ten gallons to swim in, then you can't say that they wouldn't be happier or look better with more room. Breeding is not necessarily a factor in an animal's health or happiness. Livebearers will breed even if every fish is sick and the tank is already horrendously overstocked and neglected, I have seen video of bettas breeding in a clearly overstocked community tank, and most, if not all mammals will breed, as far as i know, irregardless of the conditions of their environment.
I am sure that you care about your animals and want the best for them. It's obvious in how strongly you defend how you keep them, but nobody was attacking you, we were only presenting our own opinions on the matter.
