 Growth from enclosure sizes

I feel like an idiot for asking but is it true that BPs grow to the size of their enclosures?
Obviously this doesn’t include a 10 gallon or anything. But I have my girl in a 41 qt tub but I also have an empty 55 gallon tank. Will she actually get bigger if i happened to move her to the larger enclosure? I’m just asking, I don’t plan to move her.

They will grow no matter what their in.

But if shes in 41qt tub now dont move away from that and go to a 55gal tank. This move will be stressful and more than likely cause feeding issues and heat issues.

Well obviously they grow up and no, like i mentioned I don’t plan to move my BP at all. I was just curious if its true that if they are put in a very large tank for example, they would get bigger than if they were kept in a tub.
I’ve heard it here and there, but i find it hard to believe.
