Please don't think I'm picking on you or anything cheesyfeet but I feel I should point out a couple of things about your discus to potential discus buyers viewing this thread. It could just be they are bad photos and I'm judging your abilities but your fish look stunted.

They have rather large eyes in relation to thier body size and most look longer than they are tall, more rugby ball shape than round. The large eyes in particular are a sign of stunting and the shape can be also. If they are stunted you will find they will not reach maximum size and will probably die earlier than they should, they be also be infertile.

Again I'm sorry to post a comment like this on your thread, hope you enjoy your fish and provide the best for them. This is no comment on you as a fish keeper. More and more I'm seeing poor quality discus fish sold locally in 'normal' LFSs, my advice to anyone reading this is to find a discus specialist and maybe pay a little extra for high quality fish.

Anyone wanting to know can google for discus stunting and should find plenty of info.

I believe they are a ,back when i bought most of them (the smaller ones) it was an impulse buy.The breeder was moving houses and needed to get rid of them quick.Anyway i couldn't keep up with water changes at that time,and they wern't acclimatised to my tapwater.So for about 2-3months they werrn't having as much water changes as they should of had .I carried on doing reg wc's with my brilliant turks got them a month on so before) but the brillaint turk less colourful and more runty in appearence was always the 'runt of the pack' and never got as much food as the other one.I must of got them 8months ago.So yeh you can see they are stunted And yeh,sadly i do no the consequences of this.
