Well, first I have to apologize for the dirty tank. Didn't notice until I looked at the picture. I'll do better next time.
Also apologize for missing last week update.
These are my Albino Golden x Albino Spotted contest discus at twenty five weeks in our home.
They have remained healthy. There is a slight difference in size but not more than what you
would expect between a male and female discus. I hope this continues to be the case. They were between
2 1/2" and 3" when I received them. The largest male I would estimate now is well over 6" in total length.

My water out of our tap is 65 microseimens, 30 parts per million, ph 6.5 with a gh and kh <1 so forces me to do daily water changes to
keep the ph from dropping but they really enjoy their water changes. The nitrites and ammonia stay at zero and nitrates <5.
All sides, bottom of tank, air lines and any surfaces in the tank are wiped down every other day.
I am still feeding beefheart/shrimp mix twice per day and flake two to three times with pellets once at midday during their water change.
I use only beefheart and shrimp in my mix now at a ratio of 50% shrimp 50% beefheart.
I add no additional supplements to the water or food.
Bill :)
