thanks Tom
thats what was in the back of my mind that there was'nt a hormone
involved I remember a discussion a couple years ago on it
but I had not seen anything like what you found that actualy said so
one way or the other.

I have a few Koi from a couple years ago( guestimate 2-3 yo) that have
seemed to stop growing at about 8 inches Im not sure if these are mules
with high Gold fish genes so have reached near their max growth or that
the infestation of Bluegreen algae I had last summer afected them and
they will pick up and grow now that things are back to normal
