Re: Back to Basics

Re: Back to Basics

Those discus of yours are quite the catch. I've got a rough idea how they'll turn out when they're all grown up - similar to this video I came across (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69fdnyifllU). I'd say they're around 2-3 inches now? How's the feeding schedule looking - how ...
