I have read numerous threads that discourage hobbyists from keeping certain type of fish in their aquarium because the fish need X amount of room to swim. So my question is how we know that a certain fish need 6 feet of horizontal room to survive in our tank. Why not 6’6 or 7 ft. now I am sure some hobbyists will say that they are talking about the minimum. But how do we really know. And while I am on the subject. Now do we know what the real potential of growth in a fish is? There are no real studies I can find that gives a definitive answer
