    Bro, I don't think stopping the growth is really possible. I think it's about time to think about keeping them in a 2ft tank. They will outgrow your tank soon.
    Fish keeping is not a good hobby unless you received support from your family to keep them.

    To breed them you probably need a huge pond for it to work. Even then, it's all about luck, or hormone injections..

    A 2ft tank is way too small for a juvenile RTC. You can probably get away with a 5ft tank but with most of these fishes hitting 3ft or more in captivity, that had better be a huge tank.
    Fish.. Simply Irresistable
    Back to Killies... slowly.
