I got my discus with they were about 2 1/2 inches long and they did not have their full color. They are about 6 months older now and are nicely colored. What are you feeding them?

At 4 months they should have some juvenile coloration. What strains are the parents? How big are the babies?

Fry should have much of their adult color at 4 months.

Do lots of water changes. Like 50-100% daily.
