Beautiful fish - would they be considered juveniles?

They arrived today and I can't be happier. Thanks to Kurt (discushatchery on Aquabid) for excellent quality discus. They are alert and bigger than I expected.

Thanks to much supportive PMs from Debbi (pinkertd), I survived the night and so did the new discus. All but one is up this morning. The 10th is still alive, but remains laying down. Thankfully, I'm at work today and not home to be tempted to nudge him. Some of them were starting to eat this morning too.

Couldn't have left them alone without you Debbi. I was as stressed as they were. It killed me to be gone all day and not be able to watch them.

So what did you do, just wait or something special?

Added salt per Debbi, then left them in the dark and didn't nudge them. Worked like a charm. They are all looking for food. A little thin, but they'll fatten up soon enough on frozen bloodworms and beefheart formula.

They are all still doing great. Most of the 10 are little piglets with fat bellies. They out compete the angels for food and are eating flakes, shrimp pellets, frozen blood worms, and beefheart formula. I even saw some of them picking at the algae wafers I put in the tank for the little pleco and yoyos. I had to move the 6 rams and 5 yoyos in the 110 with them to free up a 10 gallon tank. Everyone is getting along great.
