Making fish fat?

I have tropical fish, I would like for them to grow bigger! I have had them for over a year and they aren’t growing. I feed them everyother day with flake food. I sometimes mix it up with frozen brine shrimp. I have about 11 fish in a 55 gal tank, there is plenty of room for them to grow!
I have:
4- tiger barbs
1- biker eel
1-very small red tail shark
1- Gromie
1- cat fish
2- tin foil barbs

  2. It depends on the fish. You may need to start to every day, or start feeding them different foods – mix in some bloodworms, etc.

  3. do some studying online to find out the max that your fish will grow. also if it says 2 inch keep in mind this is the MAX and your fish may not reach that size naturaly, I wouldnt wory about your fish growing as long as they are happy and healthy. Someone would much rather look at a small healthy fish than a sick big fish.
    Good luck!!

  5. Feed them with more flakes, freeze-dried, and live foods. If you can, culture mosquito larvae and feed it to them. I fed these things to my fish and they grew. Also, if you can find, feed ants to them.
