Re: Can tank size limit fish size? (Or why are my friends fish so small?)

10 gallon is only suitable for 1 goldfish as they are very messy fish,
creating a lot of waste. They do also grow extremely large and 5 gallons
just wouldn't be enough space.
asginpg - I expect that the reason your fish grew unlike your friends,
despite being in such such a small bowl is that you kept your water slightly
better than her. When in good water, goldfish release a hormone which makes
them grow. In bad water they don't.
