is my 10 gallon stunting growth?

I have two small plecos, about 2inches(5cm) i have had them for 6 months and they have not grown at all. There are also two emerald cories in the tank.the tank is 10 gallons. i was wondering if my small tank size was stunting the growth of the plecos?

thanks :wink:

Its good to add salt, to all fish, some more than others. cories and plecos like it i would say one tsp. per 5 gallons. Salt is good for healing perposes and helps their gills fuction. All water, even river have some amount of salt in it.

good luck :wink:
