P Bass growth slowed down.

I have 2 10" MonoxOrino that havent really grown in the last 2 months. They were growing like wild fire until this time. I am feeding daily Hikari Massivore Pellet. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks

monoXorino nice .. please post pics!
How often are your water changes and are you feeding anything else other than the massivore?
Frequent water changes and a varied diet has proven to be the key to my cichlas growth.

tank size?

market shrimp for bulking up.

I have them in a 180 right now but they are really the only thing in it. I feed them hikari massivore only. They do not want nor like feeders. I do water changes weekly. Changing out roughly 30% each week.

as previously stated, try other dead food like market shrimp, white bait/silversides etc.. may help boost growth.

the larger a cichla gets the slower they start to grow.... do more water changes, and it may help them grow even faster.
