Great job Bill! Your discus look great. Looks like some interesting patterns developing. I really like your idea of using a cut-out discus to estimate size.

Hi Chris

Hi Eddie,
I think the shrimp in the mix brings out the color, especially red.
I probably should put tuna and salmon in it too.:)
Thanks Eddie :)

Hi Chad
I always estimate low on their size but will measure in about another 8 months. :)
Thanks Chad

Boy isn't that the truth, everyone's discus are outstanding and been given the best of care. Your discus are awesome Jim.
I'm really happy for every one of us. I entered the contest to learn how my extremely soft water would compete in their growth.
So far it doesn't seem to have an impact. There is so much to be learned from this contest. I feel I have already won a bunch. :)
