I wouldn't think so. But if you can keep it lower, I would do so. I manage
8-10 ppm with my best growth rate fry. The other option is that they aren't
getting the amount of food they need.

If you are feeding live freshwater-compatible live foods, it isn't necessary
to siphon it off right away. I would try to give the fry several hours to
eat what they want. You will also find that they grow better on brine
shrimp, daphnia, or cyclops than microworms. However, microworms can be
critically important in getting very small fry up to a size where they can
eat the other stuff.
