[Guja]

There are lots of threads saying what to look for when buying adault discus. But my budget is very low, so the only way out is buying juveniles (around 1-2 inches. So what should I look for when buying juvies?

Look for fat, happy youngsters that swim to the front of the tank and beg for food. Eyes should be clear and bright. Shapewise - Rounder the better. Pass on dark, listless, cloudy-eyed discus that refuse to eat.
