Fish only grow to the size of their environment.

What next, putting marine life in freshwater tanks because salt mix is too expensive? Sure, you have to restock every three days, but they are pretty.

There are two kinds of fish shop owners:

1.) Those who suck at fish keeping but are great at business
2.) Those who suck at business but are great at fish keeping

For some reason the twain rarely ever seem to meet. One thing you can tell thbough, is that the guy mentioned by the poster owned TWO shops (I am doubting it, but ok). If you manage to start asecond store your are probably a type 1 shop owner. The guy slling retail fish does not want you to keep a fish for its total lifetime. he wants you to kill it ovr and over and keep buying another one. Fish stores are great for buying fish stuff and or fish, but rarely ever do they offer good advice.

Unfortunately, alot of people think like that. I did, when I first got into fish. The worst part of this, is that he owns a fish store, and isn't willing to learn. So he is passing on his misinformation to others.

There are a number of reasons a small tank will stunt growth, none of them are good. I want to see him raise a flathead on a 10g tank. We know they live for 40-50 years, wonder how long the little guy will last. Some other idiot told me it would stop growing too. There is a reason they are called tank busters.

finally someone agreeds. As long as ur water perimeter is good, clear water and healthy. They should do fine. The only draw back is stunted growth. Just like how i stated in my email. It not a "required" to buy a big tank. If u grow it from fry to large then it okay.

But if u buy it big big from lfs store, then that a different story. That all i am saying. They will grow base on living space. Do ur experientment and u see if i am wrong.

Example: small oscar in 10g, will not grow as big as an oscar in a 150?

best test subject is peco,

what makes you think people will believe your so called "EXPERIMENT" if you cant even speak your own language without grammatical errors
