Can you share how do you determine that it is stunted by looking at the lateral lines?

Good catch!! What's their size? Can pm where is this place?

This is an interesting topic on color development for Red Discus.

Just wonder anyone here has conducted any experiment to split a batch of Red Discus into two batches by feeding one batch with normal food and the other batch with Color Enhanced food to see what could be the diff in terms of Red Color development of the two batches
