Fish do not advance in share to their tank. Fish in tanks that are too small for them die early, and human beings assume that's some form of organic and organic administration mechanism. it is not, it incredibly is undesirable animal husbandry. There are some circumstances that could stunt fish growth from over crowding, inclusive of amassed waste products, disease, and undesirable water high quality. I even have heard that some stay bearers, like Mollies, excrete hormones into the water that stunt growth as nicely, that could clarify why they provide up reproducing as many times if there are distinctive them interior the tank. you could treatment all of those issues by utilising doing established water ameliorations. evaluate a much better protein nutrition, and if the tank has a great type of hiding places, take them out of the breeder internet.

Growth rate depends on water quality and food quality. The water quality has to be very good right from the start. by the time you realize the fish aren't growing it's too late. Oh yeah,temperate plays a small part too.

You can raise the temperature of your tank a few degrees. That will make them grow faster, but then they won't live as long.
