Hi all I got a 50g tank that I was going to use a s a salt water display. Can I put like like 4 little midas in instead. About 2” in length? How big will they get in there? Please advise
 
As long as you keep your water crystal, they will grow at the same rate as in any other size container.
 
It would be highly unlikely they would get stunted at those sizes. You could most likely keep them in there untill 8-10", where the width would start to become an issue, without having stunted fish.

Personally i would find it a bit too crowded, but there seems to be no scientific answer as to why you couldn't do this. However, chances are they will start killing each other off as they get more mature. A longer footprint and some good decor would help prevent this
 
It will be fine short term(maybe 3-4 mths) then You will have agression problems.
