I know the answer to this one but...my inlaws need to see some proof, maybe you guys can help me out..

Does a goldfish only grow to the size of the aquarium it is kept in

It doesn't exactly grow to the size of the aquarium, but I think the aquarium stunts its growth, and it may stop growing. Unfortunately, its internal organs do not stop growing, so, as you can probably imagine, that's not exactly healthy for the fish.

Nope they will grow and grow until they reach their limit. You can stunt their growth in a too small tank but other then that they will grow until they get full sized.

Thats what I thought too..not healthy living at all..
