How do you measure your discus?

[Skip]

John I don't know if it's on purpose or not but some people suck at measuring by eye balling. I balk at the 8" and 10" Discus.

MAYBE they are using the Metric (Centimenter) side of the ruler.. ?

John I don't know if it's on purpose or not but some people suck at measuring by eye balling. I balk at the 8" and 10" Discus. I might just flip over my chair if I read antoher one of those stories.

I know, one of the biggest Discus I've seen was only 8" TL and this sucker was huge with just eyeballing it. It was a the Giant Flora at the NADA show, total monster. It could barely turn around in the tank! LOL

is this another one of those stories where TITO will flip over his chair, Cause if so, someone needs to call his wife and have her scrape him off the floor!

I net them out and place them on a wet t-shirt. Use measuring tape to measure from mouth to tail...

Could the way the person wearing the wet t-shirt looks have anything to do with why Tito prefers this measuring method? Just asking.

[Jennie]

LMAO!

You folks are going to make me flip ova the chair with these jokes!

Let's face it - if there were a lot of 8" Discus swimming around in our homes we would see a heck of a lot more pics........

and we don't. But I digress.

Oh, its definitely not common. Do they exist, yes but generally in TL not SL.

No doubt.

I have to wonder if these 8" fish aren't being eyeball measured by men. Cause, you know, everything is bigger when a man measures it.

I totally disagree, my bet is that it's women seeing all these eight inch discus. Of course it is the men that have been telling women for years how long eight inches is.

Yes that was a really nice fish, but I am willing to bet if you asked the "normal" bystander how big that fish was they would have said 10 to 12 inches......
