Hi grelot,
nice juvs. What is it cross with?

[funkyfish]

nice looking fish u got there keep posting as they grow

[grelot]

the mum is a royal blue f1 and daddy is wild blue

I'll keep you updated as they grow up

but they seems to be slow grower. I give them plenty of good food and have 50 to 60% wc a day but they dont grow as fast as I would expect them to.

Is it normal for wild blood discus to grow slower a bit than domestics?
There is also a big difference in the growth rate between themselves.

thanks for the good comments

Very nice! :thumbsup:

I'm not too sure about wild discus growth rate, but within a spawn, it's pretty common to see fish at different sizes and there is bound to be a runt or 2. The growth in the first couple of weeks is very noticeable. but it seems to slow down somewhat when they get to about 2-3 inches

cheers

Hi Grelot,
tks for the reply. Nacra is correct about the growth rate of domestics @2''. What I've noticed is that they stop growing and then all of a sudden, they seem to bust out a few mm, when you're not looking, lol.
