- I have a question for those of you out there who
- fancy discus. I have a single German Turquoise
- speciman (or so I was told when I purchased it -
- if it matters for my question, the pictures on
- page 167 of TFH, November 1992 look almost
- identical to mine...).
-
- I'm curious as to how long it takes for one of
- these guys to achieve full size. When I got
- "Moses" about 3 months ago, he was maybe 3 inches,
- and now he's coming up on 4. All of my references
- list 6 to 7 inches as full grown, which should be
- fine for my 20 gallon tank - I'm just curious
- when, as I have a few other fish in there now
- and it's going to get too crowded for my taste.
- (I need an excuse to get a bigger tank, anyway.)
-
- Also out of curiousity, has anyone gotten their
- discus to eat TetraBits? Maybe I'm too generous
- with the frozen food...
-
- Thanks!
