fish release a pheromone into the water column.... when this pheromone reaches a saturation point it triggers a reduction in the growth rate in the fish.....so in a way tank size can have an effect on growth rate do to the time it takes for the pheromone to reach its saturation point in a given tank.....the smaller the tank, the quicker this saturation point will be reached.....this will vary a lot of course depending on water change schedules and volumes.....diet will also play a part and so will stress.....
