What really causes stunting?
You can have bad water quality in a big tank, or great water in a smaller than recommended tank. I would take good water and less space over more space and bad water for my fish.
Right now I have a young fantail in a 20, great water quality, and will move him to a larger tank in a couple years when he is bigger. Am I really doing that much harm by having him in a 20 while he is young and small (about 2inches), as long as I stay on top of the ammonia and nitrates?
