Help with my discus please

That's a good sign. Keep the water clean, even if you have to change it daily.

I agree with this and would repeat what hillbilly said before, you may want to get the temp up a little, especially with juvis.

Not bad looking youngsters either.

Good to hear. Just keep up with the water changes. (And they are pigeon blood discus.) And remember with sand and younger discus like that it is even more important to do a lot of water changes. To grow them up to maximum size people do 5-6 feedings a day with ~90% water changes a day. So just get into the habit of doing a quick water change whenever you think of it.

 

[brianhau1]

alright,
and do people really feed their discus 5-6 times a day?

And you would be surprised and what piling the food does. In ideal situations your fish should be ~6 inches in 1 year.
