Re: stunted growth??

1 inch at 5 months is about right.  Apistos don't grow as fast as larger
cichlids, even Aequidens or Laetacaras.  Bloodworms and a quality flake will
push growth about as fast as you can expect.  It is possible to get faster
growth if you keep nitrates and silicates at zero, but even then, the growth
would not be noticeably better.
