2nd and 3rd pic are same fish. 2nd pic is July 3rd pic is June. I can see this fish noticeably fattening up.
Thanks so much for your input. I absolutely agree. I am already plotting my next endeavor which is much different. I'd like to grow some juvies towards the "text book" discus then move to a very large show tank. Something like a dozen or more of a single species or half and half of 2.
For now I am pleased with the "look" of my fish though a few may be small. If they remain round and colorful and most importantly healthy then I am satisfied.
I want a show piece that my family and I can enjoy. With that in mind its been a success. My son loves it and I find my dad visiting just to pull a chair up in front of the tank and watch them as he enjoys a cold beer.
Heres 2 of the smalleys with a couple over their larger tank mates.
Sorry for poor photo they obviously always want to face front when I'm near.
