I would assume that royals wouldn't grow that quick naturally. They don't exactly move very quickly. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

I get where you're coming from but I think the real A-hole is the guy who asked how to make it grow faster. Then again it could have just been curiosity.

They probably wanted it up to breeding size quickly so they could start selling babies.

Still not good for them. It's called stunting. They die earlier. There is thoughts that their internal organs keep growing, while the body stays the same size. Obviously, everything gets smushed together and they die.

Gold fish can grow to a stupid size. Well over a foot if in a lake.
