Such deficiences can arise even if the diet is  well-balanced, especially in juveniles which naturally grow at a faster  rate than adults. This is likely a major cause of stunting and  associated skeletal deformities in aquarium ‘big’ fish, as is the use of  ‘feeder’ goldfish in the diet of predatory species.

Another principle reason for  stunting and poor growth in these species under captive conditions.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Confinement stress and subsequent inability to swim in a natural  fashion; this being especially acute in those ‘big’ fishes which are  naturally migratory or move over long distances in nature.
