Hi,

just a fast suggestion for the owner of these nice discus:

If you want it to be a real discus still (as it is almost to late by the size of the eye vs. body size), than feed it VERY WELL at least 6-times-daily (and each time watch it and repeat the quantity once he ate it in 2 minutes). And a variety of foods.

If you do not do this right away you will end up having a what we call a "torpedo discus", more elongated and small than round and normal size...

merry Christmas and healthy and happy discus-new-year...
