    Default w/c ,

    I have 5 discus in a 50 Gal tank. I got them from Liz on Sept 20 AT 6-1/2 weeks old.
    I have been doing 95% plus w/c every day. When I received them they were nickle to quarter size, now
    now they are 4-1/4 to almost 5 in. I feed them 4 to 6 times a day alternating fdw and pellets.
    Question- does this seem to an a bit excessive amount of w/c.
    They are healthy and active , even attack my fingers when I put fdbw against the glass.
    Leave well enough alone?

    I really don't know if this is normal. All I know I bought good stock from Liz and I'm giving them the best care I can.
    Maybe some others on the forum can comment on that,
