Week 19 and the discus growth has slowed somewhat but still gaining a little each week.
I started doing between 50% to 60% daily water changes in anticipation of reducing their feed but being competition
driven I kept up the same amount of feed and leaving the food in the tank longer before siphoning out the excess.
Well, it only took 1 week before I started seeing planetaria so a couple 150% daily water changes, clean sponges
and things are back to normal. Hate to do it but may have to cut back on their feed a little and keep up 80% water change.
Everything else has been pretty normal. Just one picture this week, I culled too heavy on the other 99 pictures, bad picture week.

Gorgeous picture! Excellent shapes on these guys. Looks like your discus may have the most spots. Great job with them.

Bill,
they are a beautiful group of discus! Really Awesome. I like the patterns a lot. Why are you cutting back in their feedings? are you finding their appetites are off a bit? Just wondering.

Thanks for the kind words Kenny, :)

Their appetite definetely has slowed but all are eating just takes longer to start begging. What do you think?
