    Jack had not kept or messed with fish in years. Gabe has been running "Jack Wattley Discus" for many years.

    When people walk into the fish room and see him they say wow he must be 8". He is tall and very thick and does look ever bit of 8" but guess what...............he is just a little over 7". He is a great example of people saying their discus are bigger than they really are.

    I thought fish were supposed to be measured by just their body, excluding their tail. Is this incorrect? Or are there two ways to measure fish?
