There was an old "biggest discus you've ever seen" thread or something like that on here years ago, Hans had some pics of some 9 inches on tape measures, I also remember seeing a very similar tony tan fish on tape measure that was in fact 10'

Wow, definitely looks giant though!!!

Poco I agree.. but those fish were raised in germany and asia.. in my opinion any hobbyist raising a small fish to that size has done outstanding hob..

Of course. Toni did an amazing job with her fish not taking anything away from her.

I know u weren't but I am intetested to see who else has sone monsters

[Kal-El]

I'm also looking forward to see if there is any hobbiest here that has monster size fish they either purchase or raised. So far all we have seen are those above. I will wait and see if Toni will post some recent pic with tape measure on here as those need to be recognize again.

Well boys, I wish I had time and energy to pull my fish tonight, but I'm wiped out from double 90% WC's and taking care of a sick husband on top of a trip to the hospital to visit my son. Soooooo....

Trust me when I tell you that my discus are even larger now, with one more hitting the jumbo dumbo size in the last 6 months. I'll post my original pics here and also give you the current sizes, ok? And as soon as I have the time I'll grab them out and toss them on a plate again. =)

And in the tank with the Marlboro Red directly behind him. Pic is older, I really need to get a snapshot of this guy now! He is currently 9" and 2 years old.

I really will work on getting the other 3 jumbo's measured this week with some nice tank shots of them too. The flachen is about 8.5" and the Brilliant Turq (my "runty" one) is just over 8". Oh gosh, forgot to mention the FlachenSS! He's 8" too. LOL

Wow Toni thank you for sharing... Cannot wait to see new updated pics with measurement. Those are indeed monster size discus. That MR is so round and beautiful. You have to get him to breed and spread that gene
