I have a fish which is 7.5 centimetres long, which just so happens to be the perfect limit size for the tank, I saw an article saying that they would only grow to the size of the container, and if I moved it to a different container then it would grow to fit that size as well, but didn’t explain further than that, why and how does this work?
In: Biology
The smaller the container, the limit to their growth. Of course every animal has a size limit, but you still need an appropriate cage/aquarium/terrarium for your animal, so it can grow to the fullest.
If they are unable to do so, they can get stunted, being smaller than they actually should be, which can cause health issues
