Start with a good quality specimin from good breeding genetics.
Most of the fish that are sold in aquatic shops are not good enough, you need to go to a private breeder to get a good one.
Good feeding of mixed foods also helps.

i've heard beef heart helps with the head growth.
when the beef heart is sliced or chopped up should it be cooked or fed raw?
