Freshwater Beginners A place where freshwater aquarium fish beginners can go to post their questions and hopefully get responses from those more experienced. Also check out the Freshwater Fish Beginner's Guide and Aquarium Setup Guides. Setting up a new freshwater aquarium can be a rather large project and you want to make sure you do it right the first time. If you need help with your fish tank please don't be afraid to ask questions. That's what this fish forum is all about!

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.
