Stunted growth on fishes.

[StarsOut]

I was just wondering, how large of a fish and how small of a tank must a fish be in, in order to have its growth stunted? im not saying i want to stunt any of my fishes. Im just wanting to know this to prevent it from happening. (new reason to get a larger tank LOL)

It would be best if u guys could explain it in this way.
Fish : 20 inches
Tank : 10 gallon

or something like that...

the way I understand it, for stunting, more important than the tank size is the water quality itself (nitrates etc.)
