Growth

Why don't we have a fast fish growing competitions?

not really healthy for the fish to try to make them grow fast....that would be my guess

is there a normal and nature way for a fish to grow fast ? the only way is overfeeding and that is not good or healthy

I think signs of overfeeding may be obvious depending on the species of fish. So judges should be able to tell and base their decisions accordingly. There's other factors too, such as color, height vs length, length vs height, etc. etc. etc. It may be too much work to setup the criteria for each species of fish.

We've had friendly competitions in the past but no prizes and like said before it's not really healthy to powerfeed them to grow fast... I think the best way to get fast healthy growth is the same way a human does lots of exercise and a healthy diet when i put fish in the indoor ponds their growth was major compared when they were in tanks more space for a monster fish means more exercise... So I think a real competition would be kinda unfairly stacked for whoever has the most space and money plays a role to better filtration better food costs more so it would kinda leave some out of the comp

Some of the fresh water fish in Australia can reach up to 60cm in a year and that's not over feeding them. Is there any other fish like this??
