flower horn information

Question
QUESTION: hello sir, i have red cherry flowerhorn about 2 inch from last 3 months it size has hardly changed .in fact my none of fish grow faster even after feeding god quality food please help me .what should i do to grow it faster

ANSWER: Hi Sam,
  Fish growth rate is a function of several things: food quantity, food quality, frequency of feeding, temperature and amount of water change in a fish tank.  

  A fish will grow faster as you increase each of those and is slowed
down by the opposite of these.  So for instance, you could feed really high quality food, but if the temperature is low and you do very few water changes, the fish will not grow quickly.

Answer
Hi Sam,
 I can't tell you exactly what to do, that takes experience and varies with each individual fish.  Feed it twice a day and give it only what it will eat in about 5 minutes.  Change 10% of the water everyday if you can.   
 The water temperature should be around 80oF.
