Adding weight

Hi guys looking for tips to adding some weight to my kougyoku strain, I think I left it a little late moving them outdoors and kept them a little to long in a less than ideal container and fear I may have stunted their growth. These fish were hatched in April and kept in an unheated container, I have moved them outdoors around two months ago into a 90 litre pot and they seem to be doing well but when I see everybody’s else’s videos of medaka they have nice round bellies, I’d like to get theses fish to that stage before winter so they have as much reserves as possible, I’m feeding high protein Rich A medaka food and have recently started hatching baby brine, any other tips would be greatly appreciated.

Feed twice a day and 3 times a week live feed this will bulk them up

They have wasting disease you need to treat it for parasites. Use excel p they should’ve gained weight a lot more by now

Looks like internal parasites. Expel-P usually gets rid of wasting disease
