    Default 18th January. 4 weeks in

    4 weeks from recieving the juvinille discus today, and all is well! I couldn't wait another week for their 1 month anniversary, and decided to put a tape measure on the largest one today. It measured 3 1/8 inches or 80mm. If you remember it was origanally 2 1/2 inches or 63mm. So that's 5/8 of an inch or 17mm. I'm happy with that!
    I actually caught the fish while the tank was half empty,during my daily water change, and rather than chase it around the tank with a net, l decided to slowly scoop a selection of fish up with a bucket. I think l was more nervous than them!
    After the measurement l placed them back into their tank and started re filling it. They quickly settled, and you can see them in the short clip accepting yet another feeding of FBW. l have also attached a few more photos of todays event.
