Hi pmanivong, welcome to Simply. Can you tell us a little more about your discus and setup such at how old are they, where did you get from from. What are you feeding and your WC schedule (how often and what percentage). Also the size of their tank, BB or with substrate. Any Tankmates?

The three main thing which affects growth that I can think of is what and how many times the fish are being feed. The water quality which is based on your WC schedule and the quality of the fish ie where did you get them? All this will drive the health of the fish and their feeding vigor.
