    Yes all fish can stunt but discus are much more perceptible to stunting and stunt very easily. It happens when they are kept in dirty water and not being fed correctly when they are still young. Discus are big fish, not these poor 10cm things you see at the petshops. Non parafree fish will reach around 15cm with the females and around 18cm for the males, bigger if you are lucky. The parafrees become even bigger.

    Well then it might just be time to add on to this thread @BoelderBeestie . A lot has changed for you over the past 4 years, especially on the breeding front.
