Just a little update, everyone of the fish is acting and looking very healthy. All of them are starting to beg, and eat quite ravenously.

Thanks all for the kind comments. They're all still doing great and are all now the little monsters that we know discus to be ;).

No they're all S. aequaficitius (I know the sp.'s wrong :D). Heckel's and their offspring all have a pronounced middle stress bar that never really fades.
