NFC: Re: Stunted fish growth and breeding
IMHO a stunted fish is a very unhealthy fish. If you can't provide a big
enough tank for a fish than you should not keep that fish. I would love to
keep a largemouth bass but since they can get 24-30 inches long I won't
soce I don't have the space for a 500+ gallon tank. I just don't think that
it is a very good conservation prospect. If you want small catfish than try
Madtoms, they are native,very cool and stay small.

some fish like bullhead catfish for instance, will have their growth stunted
when kept in an aquarium. Which for my tank is a good thing. My question is,
if a fish's growth is stunted will it still be able to mate and lay eggs.
Let say in the case of a bullhead, if you had a male and female but they
only grew to 4 or 5 inches could they mate. I just thought it was an
interesting question.
