    Default Before and After Shots

    It's hard to get a perspective on how fast these fish are growing when you go into the fish room 3-4 times a day everyday so I went back to some of the first pics and was amazed at the difference in size and shape!



    Nacho then.






    Nacho now.

    Awesome difference in size. Great before and after comparison in only 3 months. Shows what good care can do for growing out discus and keeping them healthy.
    Great to see these pictures Steve,

    Yeah, he really is big and thick! He's got quite the attitude too. I think I might become his publicity agent since he seems to have a bit of a following here at SD. If I can get him to rock star status then I can auction him off to the highest bidder to help support the site!
