I have 5 4'' Red Bellys in a 75 Gallon tank, I really want them to grow fast but it seems like they have not been growing that fast recentley, I do 1 water change every week and I feed them about 5 cooked frozen shrimp a day and put in 20 feeder fish about once a month, please give me some advice on how to make them grow faster.

cooked shirmp isnt gonna have as much nutrients as raw shrimp..
feeder fish aren't exactly an ideal food for them...
try hikari food sticks, beefheart, and raw shrimp.. thats what i use and its amazing.. ive had my ps since july/august and look like this now.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_FpYbHQPag

most lfs have some frozen cubes, but a lot cheaper if you ask your local butcher or grocery store.
Also hikari pellets are great for their color and growth.
Try staying away from the feeders if you can. If you want to feed live use earthworms much better for them.
Shrimp and white fish, are great also just make sure they are raw and not cooked
yea dont buy it from the lfs.. its way too expensive and is inferior to the store bought whole heart..
it took me a while to find a place that had beefheart.. so just call around..
