it's probably not getting enough food for itself. all of those other fish are probably out competing it for food. if you have a spare 10-20 gallon tank i would grow it out in there instead. also feed a wide variety of foods high in protein. i used to feed mine at least twice a day when they were at that size.
go for some beefheart thats how i always beef mine up......i feed all the rest of the fish in the tank freeze dried krill so it draws their attention to the top and then drop a chunk of beefheart down by my birchirs to make sure they eat
