    Here they are tonight begging for their evening snack of FDBW. That's the runt on the right.

    Nice job man. When you see them everyday you don't fully grasp the growth. Having the progress pictures is so cool to see their journey.

    They are in a big growth spurt right now, you can tell they are putting on the pounds. I don't know if its the age or the food. I switched to Al's Discus Chow and they are bulking up!

    I'd say age. Mine started to really thicken up. My cobalt that was way behind at one point is one of the largest with a fat head now lol

    Great chronology pics Neptune .
    Its amazing how much brighter they have become once youve transfered them on the sandy bottom.
    Keep up the good work Neptune . They are still young and got some growing to do .

    Nice job. They are shaping and coloring up nicely. Can definitely tell they are putting on that thickness now.

    I was really happy when mine got to that point. My cobalt is getting so thick now the others don't even come close to his size now and I had thought I stunted him

    Great work with these guys! I remember when you got them, you did not get a lot of encouragement about their quality, but you have really turned them into stunning fish. Even the runt is putting on weight! Thanks for the update, I love to see this kind of success..

    That blue sheen gets me every time, so very unique... Is that the same fish in each picture just zoomed in or is that each a different fish.

    I agree with Eric, they were a real mixed bag when you got them and a few had some funky shapes, but you stuck with it and they are turning out nice. Either way you can't beat that color!

    It is the same fish. She/he is top dog.
    Here are a couple more, you can tell they are getting that nice sheen but have a ways to go.

    Great job on this thread- don't know how I missed it. Love watching them grow by just scrolling! Instant gratification. What a difference the tank redo made- reminds me of Ryan's.

    The fish are gorgeous. You are doing a wonderful job with them. Now that they are gaining in size they will beef up a bit too. It is interesting how when that happens they loose the point on their face and it becomes more round. You can see it happening in the last few pics. Can't wait to see them over the next few months.

    Really wonderful Neptune . Their colors just leap out at you and feeding them Al's discus chow you can't miss . All my fish love it, even the tetras and the cories are eating it. Your discus are really beautiful. Great job.
