I have three labs that also have grown considerably slower than the other haps/peacocks in the tank. but they are getting more than their share of food. I do follow up the usual NLS pellets with some Omega One flakes, though, to spread out the food and give everyone a chance to snap some up, just in case.
I have also taught my Red Empress to take a part of a NLS sinking wafer from the end of a tong, so I can make sure he's getting enough (he's the biggest) without overfeeding the tank. The labs have caught onto this maneuver and I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to teach them to do it as well, to make sure they get a little extra.
