How's the tank maintenance? WCs go a long way in helping young fish grow. FW is not expensive to change like SW, so a 25-50% WC/week is not too much.

I add water daily due to evaporation and I do weekly water changes of approx 5-8 gallons (I use a 5gallon bucket twice but don't fill it all the way because it gets heavy lugging from one room to the next).

I would venture to say it's the size of tank he is in. I've been in a similar situation as you, two plecos bought at the same time, at the same size yet the one who was in the larger tank grew at a much faster rate. Just my experience...
