    Dear fiends, I miss you all, wish all of you are fine, after 9 months of keeping my juvi discus I end up with those, I know they are still young some how, I wonder if they can get better and bigger or they are all suffering Stunting. I wish I hear your opinion, Thanks a lot

    They look healthy to me. I don't see any signs of stunting at all except for that one little one who was compromised early on. Growth proceeds much more slowly after the fish reach the size of around 4".

    the three turq. are almost 4", more or less, the pigeon is smaller, I think it is 3", and the blue diamond is completely stunt, they are all healthy and eat very well

    If they're eating well and pooping black and your feeding lots with lots of WC you're doing all you can do. People always talk about their huge 6+" Discus but they measure with the "man's ruler" rather than I real ruler.
