My Orino cichla grow out tank

[Freshwaterpredator22]

Hey everyone growing out these little guys and some questions. They are roughly hitting 4 to 4.5 inches from head to tail. I wanted to know are they too young for me to start pellet training or no. When I got them they were close to 3 inches about a month ago. All they take now is blood worms both live and frozen. When I got them they were only eating feeders. Another thing what else can I do to grow these monsters out faster I already do a 50% wc twice a week and fees them 2 x a day where they full. I have other fish in there trying to do the same thing with. I have 3 indo dats and a tignarius catfish. Any advice is much appreciated thanks in advance.

feed them right, keep their water clean.. let nature do the rest. i dont think there's anymore to it to help them grow any faster.

i've had a lot of luck just slowly switching over to pellets (a more nutritious diet for faster growth) by initially feeding FD worms. Once they're used to feeding on that, I toss in the FD bloodworms in a bag of finely grinded pellets so they can get a taste for it. Once they start hitting the top water hard (lots of splashing), I feed them the dried worms with powdered pellets, second portion, toss in a pellet and see if they go for it. Typically by now, whatever hits the surface is food.

other than that, some have swore that microbelift TherP helps their growth and maintain their immune system.
