I have a couple of hypothetical questions about Goldfish:
1) If a fish has been suffering from ammonia toxicity for awhile (at least a few days) and is generally in poor health, but is moved to optimal conditions, about how long should recovery take? I understand that "optimal" is hard to achieve, but I'm looking for a range here... I put the question in this format because it would take way too long to try to explain the situation.
2) I understand that most goldfish in aquariums are stunted. Will the goldfish always grow if given a larger tank? At what point in the lifespan is thee fish "permanently stunted" no matter how large the aquarium and how good the care? Once again, this isn't directly applicable to my fish (I think s/he's pretty young), but I've been trying to figure this out for awhile.
If you're curious about the particulars of my fish that prompted me to ask these "hypothetical" questions, please look at my other question, "Shoaling Fish"
Thanks!
