My 4 endlis grow very fast but my ornate grows very slow...
 
Hao, when you say tilapia you mean live fish or dead tilapia meat?
 
I bought an ornate and an endli on the same day about 1.5 years ago, both were around 4", and the ornate has rapidly outgrown the endli since then.

okay, this might be derailing, but what size tank would you recommend for an ornate?
At least a 48"x20"x24" but bigger is better.

Depends if ornate eats more or endli eats more but in your situation, I think your ornate eats more.
 
My 20 endli batch that I got on 5/23/09 2"-3" in the 100g

On 8/05/09 one of the 2"-3" grew to 10"- it ate 2-3 sibbling that were 6"-7"

On 9/06/09 The rest of the endli grew to around 7"-8" in the 100g

On 9/06/09 While my biggest one at 11"-12" next to my 13" Ornate in the 150g

Now my biggest Endli-Stegga (also only endli I have left from the batch of 20) at 17" in the 270g
