My Stendker Discus from Discus Hans

It always helps when you start out with the best!!!

The newest update of pictures of my discus. Their colors are really getting brighter and brighter. It is amazing looking back through this thread as to how much they have changed over the last 4 months. The fish in the center of the 4th and 5th pictures is the one I almost lost. It is now my 2nd largest coming in at about 4 1/2" not including it's tail. The largest one is almost 5" not including it's tail. The way I tell is, I have cut out circles in different diameters and taped them to the end of the tank. When I feed them they all come swimming over and I get a guestimation of their size.

Thanks for looking.

These guys are definitely growing faster than I imagined. I wish I lived close enough to buy from Hans "all the time"......but I would be broke.

IF YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO DEDICATE AT LEAST 1 TO 2 HOURS A DAY TO VACUUMING THE TANK EVERYDAY GO BARE BOTTOM!

Good Advice.

 

[snoopy65]

I think so too. There are very few who actually have the time let alone the dedication to spend one or two hours a day on one tank.

yours continue to look great!

I few of mine hit about 3.5" after I started feeding frozen brine/bloodworms & beefheart cubes.

wondering what have you been feeding to get such nice growth?

 

[snoopy65]

I feed all kensfish foods, no mixes or beefheart. They get brine shrimp flake, spirolina flake with garlic and papricka, premium sinking bits, freeze dried bloodworms, cichlid stick mix, and golden pearls. I am not sure which it is, or if it is just the combo, but they really are growing.
