What is a normal shape for young discus?
I just got 5 small ones and the tanks that they were in, most of them were shaped like arrowheads but it is a reputable shop so I thought nothing of it. I've owned discus before but never this small, they are about the size of a dollar or to you americans, 1 - 1.5 inch max. A couple of them are starting to round off but they still look kinda pointy.
I will upload some pics in a couple minutes.
EDIT: The pictures make them seem worst but they arn't that bad. In the past, the discus I purchased were already juvies and big enough to tell if they were real arrowheads or not.
