G’day Pavan.
They appear more like blue turquoise type discus.
In the picture you provided the water looks milky. What are your ammonia, nitrite & nitrate levels before your water change?
Your growth rate is slow because your water changes are not frequent enough. How much water do you change every 10 days?
Large frequent water changes are essential, together with high quality feeds, to maximize discus growth.Last edited by danotaylor; 01-17-2025, 10:27 AM. -

Hi Pavan, both ammonia and nitrites should be zero in a cycled tank. Do you have any bio-media/filtration in the tank? Upon a second look you do have a sponge in the tank. Is there only one? Thinking you may need to add a couple more sponges.
