Yes, they are. i am trying to grow them out the max size and hopefully look like yours.

Re: Raising Alex Piwowarski Red Turq
Tony, how big are yours now? Mine are all around five inches now. Bet yours are bigger since you are feeding live.
-
Re: Raising Alex Piwowarski Red Turq
eyeball guessing, they're between 4.5-5" the biggest is close to 5",

Re: Raising Alex Piwowarski Red Turq
Tony, how long have you had them?
-
Re: Raising Alex Piwowarski Red Turq
Pat, i got them on Feb 23. the pictures may add something to them, they're smaller than yours.

Wow, yours is a lot bigger than the three I got from the same shipment... When I got them they were only 1.5-2"... I've have them for three weeks and they are looking at about 2.5-3".

Re: Raising Alex Piwowarski Red Turq
Kalelhawj, You're doing great growing them out too. Post some pics when you're have a chance.

Re: Raising Alex Piwowarski Red Turq
I think it's time to update now and here is quick poor video. My smallest one is 6" and biggest one is a bit over 7". I recently moved them to bigger tank. well see if I can grow them out as big as they should be.

That's what I love about Piwow... They get very thick and big... My 3 little piwow I got from Kraig are now 5" with the smallest one at 4.5". All were from the same shipment you got yours, but these were the smaller 5-7cm, which were actually 1.5-2". I haven't measure my Piwow RT (Avatar/Signature), but from just eye measure he's 7" or more now and slowly growing. Yours are growing faster and will probably out grow my largest one.

Very impressive and you're doing great job too. Post some pictures when you have a chance. I like the way their look and aggresive eaters.

7.5 is already consider Jumbo... :D You have already reach that mark... Anything 8" or above will be consider monster size for Discus in my book... lol

Re: Raising Alex Piwowarski Red Turq
I only have 1x at 7.5" and other under 7". I am very happy right now but happier if they ALL are 7" :)

Re: Raising Alex Piwowarski Red Turq
Very nice..how big and when did you get these again?

Re: Raising Alex Piwowarski Red Turq

Re: Raising Alex Piwowarski Red Turq

Re: Raising Alex Piwowarski Red Turq
Update Tony? PM inbound too.

Re: Raising Alex Piwowarski Red Turq
They are great but something wrong with my water, none of them pair up. I lost one due to upgrading bigger tank and it must be the biggest one.

Sry to hear that Tony. What is your TDS in that tank?
-
Re: Raising Alex Piwowarski Red Turq
No worry, can't wait for them pair up. I haven't checked for long time but it was 490tds , 7.8-8 ph. They should be fine with tap water
