The discus look great. Fat and sassy just like juvies should. Looks like they are getting some nice striations on their faces. Keep up the good work.

Week 4
I don't know where this last week went, seems like I was just posting week 3 update. Well, anyway, same consistent routine, beefheart/shrimp morning and night, Hikari pellets at noon water change and flake several times in between. Wipe down all surfaces in the tank every other day.
I had to make more beefheart/shrimp mix. I never make more than I can use up in two months. Fish and other foods have a two to three month storage life in the freezer.
Their water has stayed consistent, 65 microseimens, 30 parts per million, ph 6.5 with 0 nitrites, 0 ammonia and less than 5 ppm nitrates.
Here is a couple artistic shots just to show they are still alive (and growing).

Re: Week 4
Hi Chris, there is quite a bit of variation in their color patterns, but the ones that have more color are continually getting more color, striations and spots as they grow. Hard to get one of those lucky shots with all six in a group, they are all over the tank.Originally Posted by Scribbles
Thanks for the compliments.

Re: Week 4
Thank you all for the nice comments. Week four came up quick and I was going to add a video this week. I finally got the video uploaded of the discus eating pellets during a water change. That's their treat for allowing me to mess with their tank.They are all between three and one half to four inches. Their sizes are fairly close, they are all bullies at times.

Re: Week 4
Bill! Wicked video clip of them albino sharks. They look fantastic my friend, really really nice.
Take care,
Eddie
Re: Week 4
That's a funny description "albino sharks" but it is the way they feed, at the surface or at the bottom, very aggressive.
Thanks Eddie,
Bill
Re: Week 4
They're all very beautiful, but I especially like the one leading the way in the top picture (he's the one to the far left)
Cheers
