25 gallon is soooo not the tank for this fish. Stunting occurs when a fish needing a bigger sized tank than what is offered. When placed in a tank too small, his outer body stops growing but his insides keep on growing. This will turn into a complication and wind up killing the fish eventually.

As fish keepers, we have an obligation to provide an environment where fish can thrive, not just survive.
Keeping a fish in a tank that is to small is not right. You have to account for adult size, and get as close to it's natural habitat as possible for it to display normal characteristics.
Some fish naturally live in schools or groups, such as bala sharks. They also get very large and need free swimming space. Keeping them in an excessively small space causes stress and premature death.
Please do us all a favor and find your bala a new home, as should neighbor. Thanks.
