where is the information published? if not in a scientific publication for fish
keeping it cannot be relied upon.
mostly it is ammonia stunts fish. and not even the levels that can be measured. GF
put out a certain amount just resting and it both needs to be diluted and it needs to
be removed quickly or it can affect growth. then comes crowding and the stress that
brings. stress takes down the immune system leaving fish open to disease.

I read an interesting article recently which suggested that the
"stunting" is due to concentrations of chemicals that the big fish give
out that inhibit growth in other fish - in a little tank, the
concentrations are high.
