My fish never grow!

Hmm... Maybe he's runt, a really small one at that, or maybe he has some type of rare disease. Does he eat and poop okay?

I have kept tropical for years and they have all grown very quickly...

As above has suggested, food suppliments anmd regular water changes important.

I'm sure it's no coincidence but I have always used at least two strong pumps on continous high flow so there is always plenty of oxygen running through the tank.....

i dont think its about the water or pumps cuz the other fishes growin prefectly

there is somthing wrong with this one and i need answer for that!

genetics can play a big part, as can dominance. generally the smallest fish in a school are the lowest on the totem pole. the others may be eating all the food before the smaller guy can get his fill, or harassing it to the point it's barely getting enough to survive let alone metabolize and grow.

good point dude and thats why i feed em also flakes so he can eat as much as he can hold ,and i still didnt get the treat for it >.>
