Discus growth rate.
lets say growth rate for a normal Discus
3.5 inches is general about 3-4 months old ( from fry not from when you buy it)
So at 6-9 months.......Discus should be at least 5 inches with proper upkeep.
At 12-15 months......they should reach 5.5 inches and by 2 years they should reach 6-7 inches.
This is dependant on many factors all of which need to be followed to allow them to reach there full potential. Different strains may applies.
