Hello everyone! Discus Newbie here but not quite a newbie in aquatics...been doing it for a while now. However, i was just wondering if any of you experts out there can tell if my discus are stunted or not. I just recently got these guys a couple weeks ago, and they have grown a bit, however someone told me their eyes were a tad big. If i remember correctly the breeder said they were about 3 months old..so that questions me...are they really stunted in your eyes? I really dont think they are but what do you guys think? I would greatly appreciate your responses!! BTW The 15 gallon tank they are living in is ONLY TEMPORARY. they will be moved into a 55 next week. Thank you!!

How big are they? Should be 2.5 inches or so. It is a little hard to see from the video. Maybe they are a little. Feed them lots and often and hopefully they will be fine.

They look fine to me as well but wont do to good in the small tank they are in . If your planning on growing them out you will need at least a 55 gall Jerry

As far as shape, do you guys think these guys are decent shape also? i know there are two in there that i can see are pretty round. However, the others arent as round, but later in their lives will they be nicely shaped overall?
