Tosai Growth Rate

I have read a number of very good posts on average/expected growth rates of koi at different ages, but to my knowledge, these posts have not addressed the growth rates of tosai that did not make the grade and that were kept in tight concrete ponds to be colored up and sold as tosai in the fall or as ake nisai the following spring. These koi are anywhere from 6 to 10 inches while their tategoi siblings are about 10 to 14 inches. My question is, because these koi were kept in tight quarters and their growth was stunted, do you guys think that they will will ever catch up with their tategoi siblings?
