i was wondering if it was stunted or not

I am sorry, what does "Stuned" means?
Stunted means.. due to poor water quality, lack of nutritional feedings, illness and lack of water changes..
causes a adult/juvie discus to stay small but EYES will continue to keep growing.. so it will have a large eye to body ratio..
usually will happen during the first 4-5 months of discus life.. (this is when fastest and most important growth happens)
STUNTED>>
not stunted
go thru this thread.. just about every fish is stunted

I could post a pic of my LFS stunted fish that I still LOVE!

This is Max! He is my favorite fish. He always come right to the tank when I walk by always wanting to eat, I always feed him too. He loves Al's FDBW. I can't even get them in the tank and he is jumping for them.
I do NOT want any critics on him please. I know he isn't a show fish and never will be. But he is mine and I love him.

Thanks Teshi. Now I know.
lol I got him the beginning of March. This fish has NOT grown a MM. And he eats like a little pig. He is still only about 1.5-2in. I think he is a Blue SS but not even totally sure on that.
PS it is ok to laugh though

Teshi he is so cute!
This is off topic, but gosh Teshi, Max is adorable!
He also looks extremely young and not TOO horribly stunted yet, so you may get some growth out of him eventually. On the other hand, LFS factors and his own genetics might be working against him.
I have a female top quality discus who chose to pair off when she was only 4" and brand new in my tank. She's been steadily laying eggs for almost a year now and has only grown an inch at the most. She's still a fave of mine though cuz she's so fiesty and cute as a button. LOL

120g - 10 discus, 4 cory's, 50+ Cardinals for now... give it a month and it'll change!
I thought I would have been okay with him. That particular LFS gets their discus from one of the sponsors here on SD. Just really goes to show you how even a month at a LFS can affect a fish.
