Fish Care Tips
Growth Inhibiting Toxins In Discus Fish
In this article, we discuss growth-inhibiting toxins and why you should care about them.
Growth-inhibiting toxins are hormones that larger fish release. They release these hormones in nature so that they discourage the possibility of rivalry in breeding.
In other words, the big discus are always the ones that control the breeding population. They can’t get displaced because if other fish swim in close proximity to them, they get bombarded with these hormones that restrict the growth of the smaller fish.
These hormones are nature’s way of selecting the largest, healthiest fish to stay as the breeding individuals and the dominant genetic material.
