Hello,

I am getting a GT for my 55 gal tank :) I was wondering how to make my guy grow big, I will feed him pellets, bloodworms, flakes, etc (suggestions on food that will make him colorful and grow faster are needed) I'm having him in the 55 with maybe 5-6 roseline Sharks but that's it the tank will have plants, and lots of driftwood I also heard keeping temp at 82 helps color and size :) thanks and I hope to hear back soon!
 
A 55 is not big for a 10" territorial cichlid. I think it will do if you take good care of it, 75g would be better once it's fully grown.

There are some ways to make your fish grow faster.
1. Plenty of filtration (15-20x turnovers per hour).
2. Diverse diet (bloodworms, pellets, market shrimps etc)
3. Powerfeeding (3-5x a day, make sure no food is left behind)
4. Large weekly water change (40-70% each week, depending on filtration).
5. Higher temperature (=faster metabolism, keep the temp at 28°C)

This hobby is all about patience, he will take some time to reach 10".

...Why the hell can't the fish just grow at it's natural growth rate?
What's the rush?
