    They don't look stunted on the first 2 pictures but they do look stress. The Eruptions are slow growth
    compare to some other Discus. They do look like
    they are over a year old, as Eruption and LLS color up
    late. I can only tell you from my breeding experience.

    Different strokes for different folks, but size is third in importance next to shape and color in my book.

    My Eruptions originally came from Wayne Ng back in
    2006, currently on F7 generation.

    Just wanted to do a quick update here as I learned a valuable lesson and hope to pass it on. I found that fish that look to be runts or stunted can really turn around when provided the right conditions. I have learned a lot along the way but definitely wish I had done things right from the very beginning.

    2 of these 3 fish are now my two largest. Both big males. The eruption is still growing slowly but much smaller female compared to these guys.

    Nice looking fish Ryan, I'm happy for you that you were able to get some mass on those guys.
