Yes, keeping fish in a small tank can stunt their growth because it restricts their movement and can lead to stress and health issues.
It is a myth that a shark in a fish tank will grow 8 inches. Sharks need a lot of space to grow properly and keeping them in a fish tank can stunt their growth.
You can not grow fish to a tank. fish do not grow to the size of there tanks. if the tank is way to small they can die because there organs will keep growing but there skin will not grow. you could only have one in a 40 gallon tank. Good luck!!!! -- Most fish have indeterminate growth and that can be impacted by aquarium size, available food sources and other environmental variables. Keeping fish in an aquarium that is not suited for their size can stunt the growth of a fish. It can also overly stress a fish resulting in sickness and even death. As a general rule go by surface area to determine tank capacity. One inch of fish for each twelve square inches of surface area.
A fish will grow at its own rate, unfortunately there is nothing you can do about that. Some people may recommend keeping them in a small fish bowl to stunt their growth, this is unethical and should NEVER be done, it will give them bent spines and shorten their life expectancy. If your fish get to big for your tank you should sell or donate them back to the pet shop where you bought them.
Then there would be lots of fish to catch! too many actually, the growth of the fish would stunt do to overpopulation and disease would spread.

A fish can get a cut in many ways, from a toy castle or object put into the fishbowl or wherever you are keeping the fish.

If it is not a pet fish, a 'wild fish' it may have gotten into a tussle with another fish, or something in the ocean or lake may have cut it. If your pet fish has a cut, i would recommend taking it to a vet, before anything worse happens from it.
some fish eat algae. it just depends on what fish you are talking about. But yes fish do eat algae.
Otoliths are small calcareous structures found in the inner ear of fish. They help with balance and orientation by detecting gravity and linear acceleration. By examining the growth rings in otoliths, scientists can determine the age and growth patterns of fish.
it is the method of keeping fish neat
Yes, pH levels can affect goldfish growth. Goldfish tend to prefer a pH level between 6.5 and 8.0 for optimal growth. Fluctuations in pH levels outside this range can stress the fish and potentially stunt their growth. It is important to maintain stable and suitable pH levels in the aquarium to promote healthy growth in goldfish.
Small fry, which are young fish, grow into adult fish as they mature. As they age, small fry undergo growth and development processes that allow them to reach full adulthood and reproductive maturity. The specific species will determine the size and characteristics of the adult fish they grow into.
im n;ot sure exactly what it is but depending wreere ur keeping them if its in a fish tank with other fish take out all the small ones. they will eat all the alage in the tank and when they get bigger i suggest frozen foods
