i've been raising these ones since the end of october/early november from about a half an inch and they are now about 5" tl. i attribute most of their growth and color to water quality, i don't feed them any more than other people feed theirs.
What kinds of food are you feeding them?
 
hikari bio gold pellets in the morning and shrimp, tilapia, catfish, or some other type of raw fish fillet at night, no feeder goldfish.
 
i breed my own convicts and will throw a few in the piranha tanks every once in awhile, but i really only like to feed stuff that i've bred myself so that i know they're healthy. for pellets, i start out on the mini size and move up to the medium size when they're a bit bigger.

Also what sized tank do you use for ur breeder convicts?
they should eat pellets forever as long as you start them when they're young. i have my convict breeders set up in a 29, i'm actually re-doing that setup tonight.
