Hey everyone, I bought my discus from a Lfs and seems like some are growing way faster then others. I am afraid that a few are stunted. Also there is one that is smaller and is very dark like black not sure what breed it is but is that normal? Sorry for the bad pictures.http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/11/04/ba7ypy6e.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/11/04/2u6uzuqa.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/11/04/a2u7ybep.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/11/04/ugy8yva2.jpg

Ohh my look's like you haven't done much rinding if they were healty when you got them too keep them that way, if it was me or my tank i'd immediately get a second tank pull all the rest of the fishes, guppyies, rock's, plant's gravel, and looking at ur water i'd start doing massive water, changes, twice daily, for the next 7 day's then continue with massive water changes daily, i'd hate too think all the bad thing's all those other fish, plant's have that the poor discus immune system is trying too fight off you'd might be amazed at how they look just 30 day's from now I don't mean too sound rude, or come off that way, but I geel 1 once take a respondability, too take in any pet, they now have the respondibity too give that pet the best care poss, just as 1 who would take the respond too raise kid's, and give there children the best care possible, I hope this makes some sense as discus belong in a bb, tank with discus in most part s those other fish say guppyies do idea at temp about 74-77 max where discus need 82-86 degrees only saying all this as I see ur a beginner welcome too the group, and by far am I a exspert as I am a beginner my self, and have so much too learn, and rarely give advice exsp in matter's like this where major problem are obvious other wise I feel those discus will not be alive too long if condition don't change soon,

Your fish look far from healthy. Why did u not quarantine them before u introduced into the main tank. Oh boy...I foresee big problems

If you read here on simply there is a lot that good water can do for discus.Try get another tank asap keep it bare bottom paint or cover the sides and bottom.and do large water changes daily.other things .what water treatment are you using.Seachem prime is really good.
