Give him some cut up nightcrawlers. I've found that to bring out the best colors in fish. Also I've found it to be a hit or miss with gts but sometimes it seems adding slightly larger, less aggressive cichlids will speed up the growth and improve colors. Not sure of it if there's any science behind it but in my experience keeping gts, sometimes it works and other times it doesn't.
My little Gts growth so far

Cheers for the ideas gt7. Are night crawlers pretty much just earthworms? Never heard nightcrawler here in Australia. Was actually thinking about adding maybe a femal convict to the tank to fire him up a bit but I've only got a 3 foot 50 gal tank for the time being and not sure how it would go. Thanks for the tips anyways mate
To my understanding, night crawlers are pretty much earthworms on steroids. I know there is a difference in nutritional value between the two but I do not know the exact differences
Slowly slowly getting there lol. Thought I'd do a couple of progress shots seeing it's been a few weeks. Had to dump in some Thera a to get him to stay in one spot lol.
