Future Discus Tank Busters

[greyhoundfan]

Here's a few pics of my new babies.

This strain is called Blue Knights. Bred by Wayne Ng. They are packed with potential and can get upwards to 10". I'm boosting them up with 4 feedings a day and every other day WCs. I'm feeding them home made BH mix, Frozen Bloodworms, and dry foods.

Those are absolutely beautiful! The owner of my local LFS has two very large discus with almost the same coloration as yours. I don't know if they are truly the same strain or not, but the larger of her two is over 8.5"!! I'd never seen discus that big before I walked into her store.

On a side note, I agree with hamato_yoshii. Every time I see pics of discus like yours, it makes me really want to set up a discus tank!

I always thought the dark side is the saltwater side. Nice fish nevertheless.

Your discus are beautiful. If you dig up some of the old Wattley discus books or articles from the "Ask Jack" section of TFH, you can find some great information about growth rates, feedings and water changes.

The bottom line is that water changes are the key to growth.
