Hi Juris, these guys have certainly come a long way. You have grown them out nicely. On the shape it is hard to tell with one picture per fish. A video may work better for that.

Your discus are talking to you....are you listening
Nice shape and size of discus Juris .
How old are they by now ?
I guess they are well above one year of age meaning they have done their initial growing stage and addition growth will be much slower and limited . thickening and getting fat and bulky will be their next growth stage .
And don't worry about the brown diatom , its a normal stage in newly setup aquariums and it goes away on it's own , once your tank mature and stabilize.

I look forward to this thread as i have a BB tank with a big planted pot ,it's interesting to see how the tank ,plants and the fish progress over time .
More photos including full front tank shot will be appreciated .
Well done Juris.
Every leaf are algea green ! Twice a week WCH45%-anyway.
So ,we again (me and my wife) take out every pot and scrub cleane every leaf! 8pot=1hour.
In that time I'm cleaning all other things.

Hi to everyone.
Still keeping Discus.On 1st of April 2018 my Discusfish will be fully grown.
I have all 11 fishes at good health, feeding once a day ,regulary running with my WCH buckets and at last Im smart enough to keek my Discus in BARE BOTTOM TANK...
Since they are in bare bottom tank :they eat better,look better and are swimming around much more as previously...And mean sing is-Im feeling more more better with all this situation.
Little bit later I will measure my Discus at full grown age.
Discuskeeper Juris from cold Riga.

nice fish! post updated pics when available.
I was trying to get some good pic.,but Im not a pro and still work just with Sony Z2 phone camera.
Good thing is : after 365days measure again my fish and get a results_
Bigest fishes are Blood Pigion and two of Brilliant Turquoise discus are full 7in.
Then four discus are 6.5+in.
Rest four discus are 6in and up.
In last 365days growth was just +0.15in till great 0.8in.
All discus are healthy-eat very well,no fights.
Im feeding them just once a day,than after 1hour clean up...
Once a week 45% WCH and every day 9% in 9min (my two buckets)

Your fish looks great Juris.
Its been 1 year since you have them or are they one year old in total ?
If they are only 1 year old they still got growing up to do .
Your planted tank looked better , but I'm pretty confident that your fish feels better in this spotless environment than before . So I guess whatever makes them happy should make you happy too .
Please do some close up photos of each one of them in near future , for us to see their beauty .
Cheers Juris .
Im with those Stendkers 2015.october Discus since January 2016.(Till today=2years 3month)
Right now its full 2years 6month +~21th day fish.
And thank you...they realy looks good and Im so old for planted tanks...
...buy the way_they looks even better with lights off-only with room light but its impossible for maiking snapshots.
Blue Diamonds becomes electro blue,same as Turquoise-very colourfull.
They eat very well- I hope the smallest fish will attached some extra size bcs they are without inch against biggest fishes...
