I love that Blue Snake Skin that looks like a Blue Diamond until you look at it hard. I wish one of mine from Al was that type. You are doing well.

Re: My story
Now my next question: I have two fish that only half the size of the rest. They are very active and attack the food! I haven't seen any other fish messing (bullying) them. Since this is my first group of discus, I don't want to get rid of them. Is there are any downside of keeping them other than eating the food and taking up space? Whenever I approach the tank, they always come and greet me. Please advice

Re: My story
If they were mine, and they were not getting skinny I would keep them as hero fish. If you can post pics of them head on and from the sics I'd be able to advise you better

Re: My story
I was going to post something similar until I read this first. Buying from a forum sponsor is the first good step in raising quality discus. Some will be smaller than others. As it is with all things in life. I had read that the wild strains tend to grow slower than the others. I have one wild cross that was larger in October than his tank mates. Now is he is the little guy. Yet he is still a brilliant colored and healthy fish.

Re: My story
Thank you Liz and Peewee! I am glad that it is OK to keep them. They are very friendly. They will even let me touch them. I started giving them some home made beef heart food. I learned quiet a bit about Beef heart anatomy and made some mistakes that I will explain later. They love it though.

Re: My story
These are your first discus? You are doing a very good job at raising them. Your research is paying off!!
As for the smaller ones, don't be too concerned. I had a few that are smaller, and one much smaller and it now appears to be catching up!!

Re: My story
As for the one that looks like a BD, this is what you can expect as it grows and develops its color.

Re: My story
I got it I think last September as a very small fry, so maybe 8 months? It still has a lot of coloring up to do...

Re: My story
Wow! is the only word to explain. I met Cary Strong and saw adult Discus for the first time. I am so impressed! I learn so much from him also. Wow!

Cary has always loved to share his knowledge.

Re: My story
He probably doesn't remember me because it was so long ago, but Liz is right. Just like Al, a 5 minute conversation with Cary can easily turn into an hour, lol... I've learned so much from both of them!

Re: My story
Please advice!
Today I noticed my few small fish look darker than normal. I check my water and everything was fine. I even took some to LFS. I change 70% water daily. So I did a 99.5% water change -My fish were laying flat on the bottom of the tank- and one of the medium size one got in to the python tube! Now he is acting up! I noticed a small scar on the side of the body and he turn dark! He is all spooked and hiding behind the filter. When I turn the light on to see the damage, He is running around the tank to escape from this cruel human! Help me with both issues please
