    I have always called them like I see them and I believe some of these to be sub-par looking discus. They may get better with good care, good food, and a lot of water changes, but the quality is only ok here.

    well time will tell, I find them to be very good juvies at this point. lets wait and see how the water flows, be sure to stop back in from time to time. and also, don't be afraid to change your thoughts when you see a difference.
    also, keep in mind these pics were taken literally 5 minutes after dropping them into the tank from their shipping box.

    no worries, I think they will turn out great.

    Since they have just arrived I would probably give them a day or two before passing judgement.

    I wouldn't be afraid to change my thoughts at all. With photography, we can only judge what is presented before us. I saw the pics and told you what I thought. If you come back and show me pics of them as good looking adults, I will tell you, "those are some nice looking adults".

    With that being said, I really do hope you come back and show us their progression. Please keep the OP pics up so we can get a before and after comparison.

    I am no judge. Simply a fellow hobbyist with an opinion.

    this is where I track the progression of my groups as I grow them out, so yes, you will definitely see more pics of this group as I do the same for all my groups.
    this is not my first, you can check out my homesteader section to see the other groups and their progression. feel free to comment on them as well.
