I've had a few people ask me for updated pictures of this wild cross I have. So here are a few pictures. A few of them are developing a beaky face. Anyone who knows me knows this is someting I hate.

They range in size from just over an inch to just under 3 inches.

They are growing slow as compared to domestics.

I have a theory that adult wild discus are over two years old. I could be wrong.

Yogi,
Will be interesting to see how they develop at the 12 month mark... an awesome spawn!...

Good job Jerry!

here's a 2 year old heckel cross, just starting to round out and look nice.
