Not a whole lot to report this time, which is good I guess. Everyone seems to be doing good. I'm still not noticing alot of growth, with the exception of perhaps the finnage. It seems to be filling out more. I guess I just have to wait (and hope) they'll grow into their fins. :)
I do notice a bit more aggression at feeding time and otherwise than before. They really pick on each other sometimes, instead of a friendly push and shove for position and food.
They are still on 4 autofeeds of Ocean Nutrition Formula Two pellets daily, as well as 2-3 frozen food feedings. Most often it is frozen bloodworms, but they also get the Jack Wattley Discus Formula and frozen brineshrimp w/spirulina.
They get either a daily water change of 65-75% or every other day of 75-85%, just depends on how much time is left in the day for water changes.
Mine don't seem to be anywhere near the caliber of Brian, Eileen and Jose's. I'm not sure why that is but I guess it's just the name of the game.
Anyway, some updated pics:

Oh, I did add my RGD into the mix probably a week ago or so. It was in a 55 with 5 other discus, that are a bit bigger and older than it and seemed to be unhappy, so I put him in with these guys. He's faded a bit right now but he gets right in there and eats and shoves around too, so I'm sure he'll be fine.
This pic shows the nice red on the tip of the fin:
