The Cobalt makes my blood run hot. I see a depression in the area of the forehead and then a lump just before the dorsal. The BD either doesn't want to hold her fins up or the finnage starts too far back. I'm not sure. I'd have to see the fish in person. Also, there's a partial stripe on the Caudal. The Turk has fablulous color and pattern but would loose points on shape. Is this what you wanted?

I'd get that Cobalt to NADA if I were you.

thank you so much liz. and yes the cobalt is my favorite of the group. hes just so hard to take a decent picture. when he flares up in the middle of the tank its all eyes on him. he seems like the perfect discus. but he and the female red turq still have a lot of growing to do. and some more color to get also

Not certified to judge but I know what I like and those are some pretty nice discus. I'm sure most of us would be happy to have specimens like that in our tanks. Good job getting them this far!

You could try posting one of your best fish in the [Discus University: Learning About Quality in our Hobby] section and the expert there can give you a rating of where your fish is at.

Looking great. Looks like heavy color enhancer foods with red fins on all fish?

you know a lot of people tell me that. i started feeding them tetra bits not to long ago and before all they ate was fdbw and beefheart flakes with pro growth. they been like the blue diamond was raised on tetra bits and beefheart. but the piwows have always been like that

I dont know much about the piwos, but the bd and cobalt should have clear fins i think (as far as judging goes) that cobalt and piwo look awesome though

you need to provide better picture, first & second may be but second fish just not blue enough :) this all my personal opinion :)
