Week 14, Water Change #14 = 5.4" Discus!!
Hello all!
Sorry to have missed last weeks update.
Todays water change was rather uneventful. Everything is right on track, no issues to report and these guys are looking HUGE in a 110 gallon tank. I can remember when they looked so tiny in this tank. LOL!
Anyway, I promised myself that I wouldn't measure any of the fish again until the end of the contest, but I couldn't resist. I was eyeballing them tonight and swore that the largest looking discus was around 6". Well, I pulled him, measured, and it looks like he's at about 5.4". As they get bigger, they are very difficult to keep still. Close but no cigar on my calibrated eye. LOL! I wouldn't be a good "guess my weight" carnie! LOL!
That's about a full 1" of growth since the last measurement. I'm pretty happy with that. I didn't take any tank shots. They would look about the same as the last update. I have attached a picture of tonight's measurement.
Best wishes!

Thanks so much Bill! I thought the same myself when I opened up the calipers to take this measurement. The caliper is only 6". If this keps up, I'll definately need a biger set for final measurement! LOL!
Best wishes!

Awesome job Chad! I was real tempted to pull one out as well the other day. I think I will do a measurement next month and probably once more before the end.
Keep up the good work my friend!

Chad, that is one stud of a fish. Fantastic job!
