Competition can also increase growth rate IMO.

i agree! i have noticed with all my cichlid grow outs that i've had in the past that the dominant ones in the group seem to grow exponentially faster than the less dominant ones, even though they were still getting plenty of food.

OP i dont think that stock is enough to limit growth as long as your keeping the water nice and clean and feeding plenty of good variable food, thats a nice size grow out tank, also whats the temp of your water? when im growing out juvies i keep the water a little warmer at about 82-83 and feed several times a day and i usually have great growth rates with the more dominant juvies and non-cichlid fish
 
I appreciate the info guys!!!
