He is around 10cm and i think that he has grown a litle since i bought him from a lfs where he was in a small tank and not happy at all.The colors are looking better but some says that the eyes are to big and the bodyshape is not it what it supose to be

I think he looks proportionate

Robby,

He is a little "fox faced" as opposed to the ideal "round" shape. He is coloring very nicely from the pictures of your fish.

Shape and growth have genetic underpinnings although environmental conditions will have a significant impact on growth. Great water quality and heavy feeding will have a substantial impact on growth. The comment on "large" eyes is an indication that the fish 's growth has lagged because of genetics, water quality or food.

Given your statement that the fish had been in less than ideal conditions at the LFS, it may be a touch "stunted".

Thanks,
So you think that he will be better later on?
My water quality is good and i change the water 2 times a week.i give them food in the morning,some litle food in the afternoon sometimes and they get food in the evening...isn't that enough?
In my 75g tank now i think that i have to many fish for the moment and that might stress the discus.
I am soon getting a bigger tank 550L and as soon as the cycling is finished the clowns and bala sharks will be in that tank,so that means in the 75g tank there will be 3 discus,3 yoyos,2 rams and 1 L-001.
