Healthy discus?

[blesser13]

Hello everyone =)

I am new to discus, I have 6 discus for almost 1 year, and so far they are doing really good, never had any issue with them, but 1 of them seem to have more a pointed head if you compare to others, at the time I bought him I didn't have any experience =(. Do you guys think the shape will change forward? Here is a video, let me know what you guys think about them =), Sorry I could not post any link cause i dont have my 10 posts yet. just need to copy/past

Probably talking about the blue turk type. It appears a little stunted on growth possibly. Some strains have pointer shape. Breeding for round shape is the goal, this guy may just not have the genetics to be round.
Your tank is spotless and your other discus look good. Maybe that guy has some parasites or other issue. What is your water changing routine?

Yep you got it, the blue turk type, weird shape a little bit, Oh thanks for posting my video btw =), I do 1-2 WC weekly 25% everytime, more if I can, I use the Eheim 2217 with a surface skimmer.

If his growth has stopped his shape will likely stay the way it is. The larger percentage water you change the better. 25% may not be enough.

They are beautiful fish, what kind of sand is that and how many gallons tank? Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for your compliments =), I use normal river sand, my lfs sell the bags really cheap, my tank is a 55 gallon, 207 L, but discus are growing up really fast, gotta switch for a 75-120 gallon forward

So the key to have discus with round shape is lot of WC, provide them high protein food, but how many times per day, do you guys recommend auto-feeder?
