Welcome to the forum Fishman. Great to have you here.

Your tank sounds wonderful, and you're already doing all the right things.

Just keep feeding those little guys three or four times a day with a mixture of high quality foods, and they will grow and reward you for all the hard work you are doing.

Discus keeping is very rewarding. Hope you enjoy your time with us.
