I really like the different colors in my wild browns. One is very light colored, almost golden, another is darker redish brown with darker bars.:) I received them from Al one wk ago and they are really doing great:)

thought I would share a couple pics. I have 4 wild browns altogether.
This is the first time I have been able to post any pics in the "Amazon" section.:D

Hi Ardan,

Nice Wilds!!

I also got some Wilds from Al awhile back and I really like the Browns that I got...light brown color with a little red in the fins.

Regards, Lester

Thank you Lester!
Yes I like the bit of red and bit of blue too:)
Do you have pics somewhere of your wilds?:)

Take care

Ardan, I do like wilds. They are very nice, does the pale one bar up at all when feeding or is always virtually solid in colour. I have 2 Xhingu's one of which has very pale bars, but when feeding or when bickering they bar up really nicely.

They clearly look well and happy.

Very nice Ardan,
I too love wild browns. Perhaps my favorite of all the wild variations. The subtleties in their markings and the morphs that occur are just as cool as can be. I have some browns that I got from Al some time back and I appreciate them more everyday! Yup Browns are very possibly my favorite , well that is along with Heckels and blues and of of course greens and...well you get the picture!
Congrats on the wilds and welcome back to active tanks of fish!

Thank you Jarrod, Paul and Peter!:)
Yes the paler one does show its bars at times, though usually not very dark.

I have 2 Xhingu's
I am not familiar with that, do you have a pic?
Thanks again:)

Ardan,

They are similar to browns, hopefully the pic comes out below!! I noticed I spelt it wrongly, I've really got to try and learn to type!!! It should be Xingu I believe it is named after the river.

Yeah, I'm hoping its a male, very difficult to tell with wilds, its been showing interest with a Red Diamond female, well I think its a female!! Fingers crossed.

Arden,
Those are beautiful!!!!
The ones in the first two pics have the same color as my San Mareh. Hmmmm I wonder if mine is more of a wild San? Actually the only difference is yours has some blue on the fins and mine has a black ring. Same amount of bars though.

Thanks Jason and Frank!:)
I really enjoy the colors and shape.:) They seem pretty peaceful, compared to a larger turk in the tank:) Course the turk is at the top of the pecking order right now, but while the turk chases everyone else around, the wilds sneak to the other end and eat:D

Ardan
Frank, maybe yours has a cross in its bloodline somewhere?
Post a pic if you can.:)

Ardan,
Here's a picture but it is like the 12th one I took and the discus started to darken up but it's usually much lighter then the pic shows. It has some bluish tint on the side of the face but only can notice it when it darkens, usually you cannot see it.

Thanks for sharing the pic. I like it.

Jon,

From Paul Lucas at discus south www.discus-south.co.uk Paul is getting some more wilds in soon I believe, what he is trying to do is very exciting, may be worth giving him a call. Real nice guy.

Paul.
