    Nice photos Tim . They've already started to get a bit of blue colours on them .
    What is your raising aquarium size and your WC routine at this moment ?

    You are on the right track , getting the best of them Tim . And being Piwos , IMO they got a lot of potential of
    becoming a show fish some day.

    You're fish look beautiful mate, very nice high bodies. Hope they get that thick Piwow look as they mature!
    I have never feed mussels but I do recall someone on this site mention they ran into problems due to something in the mussel meat. I cannot remember who or where it was documented but I hope they chime in here with their experience.
    Cheers mate! Aussie aussie aussie, oi oi oi!

    You never had any problems feeding them to discus before or feeding them to other fish? I hope you're right, it's an expensive lesson if not. There are so many are the proven good foods out there I just wonder if it's worth the risk?? That being said they are yours and you do as you see fit my friend! Keep us posted

    Here's the thread link I searched for the mussels.
    http://forum.simplydiscus.com/showth...hlight=Mussels
    Paul is an experienced discus keep in Italy I believe. Have a read, see what you think, again, they're your fish so it's your call if the benefit outweighs the risk. Cheers mate

    You're welcome mate! I hope you find the answers you need. You have a great group of discus there and I'd love to see them hit 7"+. Take care

    I love watching these get bigger and bigger-the fish that is-not the hole in the sock! Ha ha

    I have two recliner love seats, one faces the tank and the other faces the tv. For some reason the leather on the one facing the fish is wearing out faster
