I got some 5" ocells two weeks ago and was feeding them hikari aro sticks, massivore, cichlid bio gold+ everyday and they grew .5" and bulked up a lot.
I haven't bought food in awhile but i think one of the MFK vendors, affordable aquatics, is one of the cheaper places to get it.

problem I have with this stuff is that it's so messy and stinks up a storm.

Try doing 50% water changes every other day or every two days. you can get 2 pound bags of massivore on pet mountain for fifty bucks
Feeders I have 5 cichla all under 3.5" and one that is 4.5" and between the 6 they will take out 3.5 dozen feeders a day and their easily showing an inch of growth every 2 weeks just keep feeding them feeders 2-3 separate times a day. They will GROW!!!
have you ever tried earthworms?? my oscar loves them, and when he was a lil tike he would swim around swallowing one and he grew very fassst, i got him and my albino at the same time, the albino never really ate the worms and my black oscar grew twice as fast as the albino
