    Default Few Grow Outs

    I got seven 1 1/2 to 2 inch santarem discus from Tom when he had a couple of spawns. Recieved them in March I believe. 4 are five inches and 2 are 4.5 inches plus. Trying out my new phone camera.

    Sweet looking Santarem. All those water changes paid off!

    Water changes. Lost count of how many I have done. Enjoy every minute of taking care of discus.

    Tom has a pair that produces very nice discus. I never had a group of discus that is as calm and stable has these guys have been from 1.5 to 5 plus inches.

    This fish has exceptional height and excellent coloration. Many santarems have a slight to very pronounced notch in the forehead, while your fish has a nicely rounded forehead. If you keep up the water changes, this fish could do well at next year's NADA competition in its class. That's what I'd do if I were the owner.

    Congratulations, Willie
