The problem with that theory of the fish to tank size, is that fact that they do get stunted and it seems like the theory is correct. Most people will stand by it not knowing the potential life span of the fish. I still know a lot of people who find it nearly impossible for a fish to live more than 3 years.

Thats like saying people in bigger houses are bigger and people in smaller houses are smaller. When the true aspect of larger people is feedings.

The fish get stunted bc the owner will feed less... Nobody feeds cloudy water so with a small tank and small filter the filter is no longer able to handle a growth based bioload of daily feedings so a owner cuts back on feeding to cut down the pollution and make a attempt at prolonging the life of the current tank size.

The Fish will not be stunted if you have a filter that can handle the bioload of growth style 3x daily feedings without clouding the water.
 
^ wrong. tank size plays huge factor in mobility of fish in question . less mobility less muscle growth from feed. even less feed it will go to his .ass. just like peopl who eat normally yet dont function (exercize) correctly in society to burn such fat and nutrient off.. because in time now.. our food is quite mal-nutritious with all the persatives and chemical stabilizers for food.

thats whats atrophy is. stunted. in a sense.

thats why ponds cure most if not all tank based diesease and problems... DE. scale rot. pop eye. spinal curvature..... etc... size does count... your post sounds right but is a bit off.....
 
to add stick a ac110 on a 10 gallon. or better yet a 10 gallon with a 10 gallon SUMP.. let your baby ck live in there as long as possible.. then try and tell me it wont get stunted..

nah dont do it ... rather not hurt a fish i love to correct your ignorance.... ;)


BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA NICE ONE> ULLO
 
LOL, sorry took me a bit to look at this again, but a "full grown" dragonfish in my eyes, his is about 15" and the thickness of a bratwurst...(yum), that is the largest I have personally seen.
 
believe in karma...fish are not prisoners...they should be taken care of and should be loved!
 
Further more a 10g sump on a 10g tank is pretty normal on nano saltwater tanks. I have a 10g hidden sump on a 7g bowfront reef tank with a jebo 150g rated skimmer in the hidden sump. but hey saltwater isnt for everybody.

There are many factors that account for stunting. Tank size, water quality, and feeding. You're saying that tank size doesn't matter, but the other factors do...this is incorrect. Like midnightCK said, tank size also plays a roll in stunting. Fish mobility is needed for muscle development in order to help fish grow. Fish also release hormones that control their own growth rate. The better the better the filtration and the more water changes are done, the more likely that the fish will grow because the hormones in the water is being taken away, but that can slow down the growth rate. That's why a lot of people believe the "Size of Their Tank" theory.
