That is all. lol .
 
it could just be the angle , but particularly in the 2nd pic it does look a touch underweight , altho nothing to be alarmed about , just be sure to feed it up .
 
hey you finally got your discus! nice 1 :good:
haha thanks :) . im going to hopefully be getting some from april in vancouver soon , so he can have some friends :)
Congratz in joining the discus club!!! Your discus looks great! +1 for getting your discus at April's in Vancouver, everybody around here that is serious about discus gets it from her! I know she has discus from reputable breeders like Dale jordans and Forrest to name a few! She is currently out of discus ATM since a few people and myself cleaned her out during her Christmas sale :) . But she has a few of her personal discus for sale at aquarium west, 7 of her select Blue discus is up for sale but it won't last long!
 
Very nice . Welcome to the discus world. Being underweight does not always mean worms ime. Where did you get him? If from a pet store then he just might not have been fed right or enough also could have been picked on. Hold off on meds and watch the poop and see if he eats well and in a few weeks he should fill out my little pet store rejects always fatten with clean water and lots of food.

exactly the approach id take
 
Yepp, but ive had him for about a month already . Im pretty sure he would've fattened up already.

Hillmar77- hi, i didnt get him from april . just the lfs. but im goigng to be getting some from her soon . hopefully some of forrests snowwhites. or brilliant turqs . ^_^
 
Also if you are ever down here in Vancouver, a local member makes a killer beef heart mixture that we buy from! My discus go berserk for it! I'm sure I can also find a way to freeze it and send it to you too since you are so close! Just let me know and i can get a order in for you before you come down! Anyways here is the ingredients he uses:
The main ingredients I use are Free Range Organic beef heart (no hormones, no antibiotics, grass\alfala feed, remove all fat and membrane), Shrimp (shell removed), Wild salmon (skin and bones removed) and peas. There are other things I add to it such as red algae, garlic extreme, spiralina powder (not tablets), flakes, etc. I use a binder that keeps the mixture intack in 80+ F water, so it doesn't disolve on the bottom. Basically, 1lbs of this feeds my 6 discus (4 large + 2 med) and a bunch of little fish for almost 3 months on 2 feedings per day. However, if you are trying to grow out you babies\juvi discus you will burn through it much quicker.
15 bux a pound!
 
Thanks for the recipe. ! :) i bought a book on discus too, and it has a beefheart recipe in there too. so i might whipp up a batch lol. and i dont think ill be coming to vancouver. i think im getting her to ship them here
 
Very pretty, whats that sort of colour called? (please excuse my ignorance of discus sorts :lol:)
 
I have a little runt discus that was really skinny when I got him a month ago and he is still a bit skinny but slowly getting better. It can take a month or 2 for fish to recover from poor care.

Do you see any other reasons for worms? What's the poo like?
