The question is two fold here;

1. Are hormones responsible for the appearance of a dominant ( usually 
male ) fish in a batch of tank raised cichlid fry ? If so which hormone(s) 
and by what/which pathway(s) ?

2. Are hormones responsible for the stunting of an entire batch of fry in 
tank raised fish ? If so which one(s) and by what/which pathway(s) ?

TIA Simon
