Thread: Will discus still grow after a long period of barely eating?

  1. #1

    Default Will discus still grow after a long period of barely eating?

    Hey guys I got a 4" dark angel from Hans back in December. The thing barely ate for 5 or so months. I had pretty much given up on it as it just wouldn't eat and hasn't grown any.

    Come June, the thing has started eating the fdbws and all flakes I feed. Eats like a pig now.

    So my question is after so long of not eating or barely touching food, can I expect any good growth? Or did it pretty much stunt itself? Thanks

    The discus is approximately a year old now.I would say that it is pretty much done growing in its first year to 18 months.When they loose growing time due to whatever,seems like they never catch up.
