Contest discus
Heres some pics of the royal blue discus from Darren. At first they were a little slow to eat and were quite timid. My guess is the change of water conditions took a little getting used to, i inspected stool samples from these fish and found nothing remarkable. Also the breathing rate appeared normal and i didn't notice any stratching or other behavior which would indicate parasites. Now they are eating very well and appear to have adjusted to my care. They are around 55mm sl, at receiving they measured 45mm sl to 48mm sl. Foods they are accepting are fbs, fbw, live insect larvae, sera discus granules (normal type). They are still a little hesitent on my home made mix (Darren, what is in your mix...crab eggs and fillet steak?)

Re: Contest discus
Hi Rod. Thanks for the report. Your fish look great. I liked the last photo, particulary the fish on the left. Mine aren't as keen on FBH, as they are with FBW and FBS, which they are now taking two cubes of per feed. I am still persisting with FBH which is their first feed every morning. Looking forward to your next report.
We're here for a good time...not a long time
Re: Contest discus

Very prety fish you've got there, all looking great.
Glad they are eating well for you now.
There will be some monster fish come of this contest !

Re: Contest discus
sorry guys, what's a royal blue? made up of what type of strains? sorry!
Re: Contest discus
No need for sorry....
Royal blues are wild type discus. They are developed using the blue discus. When the name royal is attached to a wild type, it means the fish in question has superior colors and marking to the usual fish from that type.
