-- There's definitely a strong correlation between tank size and fish
size, but the general consensus is that water quality is a bigger vector
(and not coincidentally, large tanks typically have better water quality).
That and diet. It's not unusual to see sudden growth rate being
associated with foods being given. This is most obvious with fry as they
move through different food groups, but you can see it in older fish as
well, particularly when fed live foods (fish, shrimp, bugs, worms etc).

I was reading a web page on betta's this guy was doing all kinds of
experiments, one was to see if clean water made the fish grow faster, so he
separated two groups of fish and changed ones water a lot and the others not
so often, feed the same food and did everything else the same, after some
time pasted the fish who's water was being changed a lot and kept very clean
grew a lot faster, then he did a test to see if he then started doing the
water changes more often on the other set of fish if they would catch up and
they did. He went on to do all kind of different things like that it was
interesting.
