I just got back from Georgia and while I was there I got some new fish to replace what I lost when my heater cooked my others.I came home with 15 discus of different sizes ranging from quarter size to a little better than 4 inches. The smallest red scribble did not make the trip but all others are fine. They are red turq ,red scribbles, fire reds and blue diamonds. I also got 5 marble angels that are bigger than silver dollar size no pics of those just yet. Discus are in the 75 and angels in the 55 all have settled in great and already know who feeds them lol.

Very nice! Looks like everyone is settling in just fine!
 
That's my dream tank!! I love discus. Years ago I tried a discus tank. It was beautiful. It was a 54 gallon corner bow front. I had 2 noen blues, 2 pigeon bloods and 2 reds. Everything was fine for about six months. All water parameters were good and there were no new additions. I woke up one morning and ALL were dead. I have no idea what went wrong but I haven't had the heart to try again. I even tore the tank down and it sits in my garage. I still have my angel tank up and running. Maybe I will try again soon.
 
Really nice fish.
 
Sorry to be the one to throw water on the fire but...

Typically, when mixing discus of such a wide variety of sizes, the small ones are gonna get bullied and will likely wind up stunted due to aggression from the bigger discus at feeding time. IMO and IME juvies grow best with others of similar size. Good luck and keep the pics coming.
