Giant groumi not growing

[Kingdoffishcraft]

I bought multiple juvnile giant groumi and I've been keeping them in a pond for well over a year. But they've stayed the same length and seem the same size to me. Any pointers or ideas of how I can make them grow?

- Diet - Shrimp, fish, pellets

Large consistent water changes will help with growth.

I do water changes once every 2 days

Do you test for Nitrate after wc's?

Everything is perfect everyone else is growing accept for the groumi

So you don’t test nitrates with a liquid test, I take it?

I do strip tests for hardness, nitrites, ammonia etc. Every time I do water changes. But they seem stunted for no apparent reason.

You sure these are giant gourami and not something else? I've seen massive ones in swamps with stagnant water.
