This is correct, 99% of the people that keep these fish do not have the proper enviroment for them to thrive. 10 inches is the recommended minimum for the fishes best interest. This does not mean that everyone provides such.

Unfortunately very few ever research the animals we keep enough to know what makes them do their best. They only read what they HAVE to have to make it live. If it lives a year or two most people call that success. It's not.
