About
An assorted selection of captive-bred discus juveniles at 5–6cm body diameter, ideal for growing on and selecting future show-quality specimens. Belgian and Dutch hobbyists frequently purchase assorted juveniles to raise in dedicated grow-out tanks and select top individuals. Colour strains may include turquoise, red, blue, and pigeon blood varieties.
Care Guide
Grow-out in a 200L+ tank at 28–30°C. Feed intensively with varied high-protein foods 4–6x daily for juveniles. Perform large, frequent water changes (30–50% daily during grow-out). Maintain very low nitrates. Juveniles are more sensitive than adults — excellent husbandry is critical. Thin the group as individuals develop.
