Cardinal Tetras

[Happy Fish]

We have a small group of cardinal tetras, and have had them for quite a while (nearly a year). Their size hasn't changed too much since adding them to the tank, but we see fairly good sized ones in most fish stores. We're feeding them flakes (for community tanks) but they just don't gain any size. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks for your help.

I've got neons and they get really excited when I add frozen daphnia, brine shrimp and bloodworms, and freeze dried tubifex. They get moderately excited when I put tetra tab min pellets in the tank - also pick at spirulena tablets for the cories. They do seem to eat the flakes though - but ........

Mine grow fine... I feed them eggs (From themselves ), flakes and frozen food and they are growing
