Cool mate. Looking forward to their continued color development

Another quick picture update. They will be 19 weeks this Sunday.
Backed of the color enhanced FDBW. Gradually returning to normal color.

At 19 weeks, they are ranging from 3.25 to 3.75 inches. Here are photos of the largest one. I am presently feeding 4x a day - alternating D-50 baby pellets with Al's FDBW.

Here is a video perspective.

Why would there be two measurements? Fishing regulations for minimum keeping is head to tail. Why would one not measure the tail as well?

SL is the correct measurement for Discus but nobody uses it any more. That's why we have so many more fish these days with too long peduncles.

Looking good Frank, continuing to progress nicely mate

Going on 22 weeks. Now feeding 3x a day, still growing!
Random pictures. I have not measured but probably averaging 3.5 inches.

How are these getting on Frank ?

[fljones3]

Thanks for asking! Outside of some water issues, events are moving forward and growing. The largest I estimate is around 4 inches. I will seek to post a video, of which they are 27 weeks. Just like with children, more photos when they are younger. More selective as they age.

Wish I had Pat's photo skills.

How are these getting on Frank ?

[fljones3]

They are presently just over 28 weeks. Here is a video at 27 weeks.
I zoom in around 26 seconds.
