I decided to ask the experts and tons of breeders rather than my lfs. I want to know what you guys think of these discus which I bought about 2 weeks ago. Do you think they are good quality discus are they stunted? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Didn't mention the size??? anyway, let them grow a bit.. hard to say with them pics but don't look bad at all

[Melissa]

I think they are lovely. I particularly like the white one... In my opinion they don't look stunted, they still look a little young... Just keep their water clean and feed them a well balanced diet and you should see some growth.

[jball1125]

They look young. I would say you can definitely get them to a nice size as long as you keep up with water changes and feedings.

[aceeagle7]

yes they are young the white one is about 3 inches and the pigeonblood is maybe 2 and half inches.

They look fine to me. Let them grow out. Best wishes

[cobsterrr]

proper and timely water changes....they will grow.

[DerekFF]

dont look stunted to me, not show shape on them or anything, but perfectly average fish, no stunting seen from me!

[Skip]

how long where they at the LFS... that may give you alittle insight, as to the care they were lacking/recieved..

[hedut]

they look fine:)

The only way t o know for sure is t give them lots of food and clean water, see how they do.

All the good stuff can be found in quality flake/pellets/BH mix.

I think a lot of people dose their BH mix with calcium supplements. I use a Tums and that doesn't seem to have any ill effects on mine. I think Calcium Citrate is the best form though b/c it's water soluble.

One of the recipes on this site also has baby powder in it. That has a lot of calcium although I haven't tried using it before.
