Fantastic news, quite a few Heckel owners on this site.
They are beauties too.:)

[Gajowa]

Lovely heckels Darren.
I see you feed them with frozen blood worms. Aren't you affraid that they can get sick from it? I mean, blood worms can carry disease

Dear darren,

this is Heiko Bleher, and you got some nice young Heckel Discus.

PLEASE give them the correct biotope/habitat, the sooner the better. The way you have them now is no good, in a bear tank. And try to get some Heckel discis (S. discus) information out of my book.

best regards

Heiko

i will check how mutch it will cost to send fishes from europa to australia, you got nice heckels but you need too get som real nice dow under and it cant be that difficult to send them from europa dow there, it goos like 50 planes a day whit tourists so a kopple off heckels cant be that hard too send! I will investugate!:)
