in all of respect, not really.
ratio of 6 incher in 10 gal: 6:10 = 45:75
ratio of 14 incher in 75 gallon: 14:75
huge difference.
hate to use actual grade school math to prove it. lol
Can you keep a 6" fish in a 10g for life?

had my 6'' RBP in a ten for a few months due to living situations, made sure to turn down the temp and not aerate it too much, it made him really sluggish, but i wouldnt do it permanantly.
We're not talking talking about fish size to # of gallons, we're talking about fish size to tank foot print. Just for the record tank size is not what "stunts" fish, its all about water quality.
So if you put an arowana in a 55g but kept the water quality up it would stunt its growth
Come on really? your comparing length to volume
Maybe you should try using a little bit more advanced math?A 14" fish is going to be 10x bulkier than a 6" fish. It would be more like
6:10
50:75
In terms of cubic inches which is much more accurate for determining bioload
14" oscar = 40+ cubic inches
6" firemouth= 10+ cubic inches
Depends on the fish, filtration and wcs. Yes i said it.

Keep in mind that a 14" fish is going to produce much more polution that needs dilution then what a 6" fish will.
Your statement contradicts itself. Since your oscar is only 4x the firemouth. Your O is going to be more like 110-120 cubic inches.
