    Hi Juris, these guys have certainly come a long way. You have grown them out nicely. On the shape it is hard to tell with one picture per fish. A video may work better for that.

    Nice shape and size of discus Juris .
    How old are they by now ?
    I guess they are well above one year of age meaning they have done their initial growing stage and addition growth will be much slower and limited . thickening and getting fat and bulky will be their next growth stage .

    And don't worry about the brown diatom , its a normal stage in newly setup aquariums and it goes away on it's own , once your tank mature and stabilize.

    Get a couple Chinese algae eaters, they will take care of any algae on the plant leaves.

    Hi to everyone.
    Still keeping Discus.On 1st of April 2018 my Discusfish will be fully grown.
    I have all 11 fishes at good health, feeding once a day ,regulary running with my WCH buckets and at last Im smart enough to keek my Discus in BARE BOTTOM TANK...
    Since they are in bare bottom tank :they eat better,look better and are swimming around much more as previously...And mean sing is-Im feeling more more better with all this situation.
    Little bit later I will measure my Discus at full grown age.

    Discuskeeper Juris from cold Riga.

    I was trying to get some good pic.,but Im not a pro and still work just with Sony Z2 phone camera.
    Good thing is : after 365days measure again my fish and get a results_
    Bigest fishes are Blood Pigion and two of Brilliant Turquoise discus are full 7in.
    Then four discus are 6.5+in.
    Rest four discus are 6in and up.
    In last 365days growth was just +0.15in till great 0.8in.
    All discus are healthy-eat very well,no fights.
    Im feeding them just once a day,than after 1hour clean up...
    Once a week 45% WCH and every day 9% in 9min (my two buckets)
    Holding T=83.3'FDSC_0036.jpg

    p.s. One of Blue Diamond are hiding

    Your fish looks great Juris.
    Its been 1 year since you have them or are they one year old in total ?
    If they are only 1 year old they still got growing up to do .

    Your planted tank looked better , but I'm pretty confident that your fish feels better in this spotless environment than before . So I guess whatever makes them happy should make you happy too .
    Please do some close up photos of each one of them in near future , for us to see their beauty .
    Cheers Juris .

    Im with those Stendkers 2015.october Discus since January 2016.(Till today=2years 3month)
    Right now its full 2years 6month +~21th day fish.
    And thank you...they realy looks good and Im so old for planted tanks...
    ...buy the way_they looks even better with lights off-only with room light but its impossible for maiking snapshots.
    Blue Diamonds becomes electro blue,same as Turquoise-very colourfull.
    They eat very well- I hope the smallest fish will attached some extra size bcs they are without inch against biggest fishes...
