All species of fish have a normal size which they will grow to be around,
but when confined in small tanks their growth is slowed and stunted. In
proper sized tanks, fish should grow to their full potential size which
should not be dependent on tank size.

If their growth is stunted, they will also become more prone to disease and
may die earlier than they otherwise would.

I'm sure you've all heard this idea before, that fish of various kinds
will
grow to fit their environment, and then stop growing.

Does anyone have good -reliable- information on the matter? I'm sure
everyone has opinions, and links to opinions, but I'd like to get a handle
on some facts if it were at all possible.
TIA
