Very nice setup and great looking fish.
However I would suggest putting a top on the tank, I would hate to hear that you lost some due to the fact that they got scared and jumped out the tank.

It's very hard to tell since they do not have their full coloration.
It's safe to say that they are not "blueface" heckels and the name royal has no meaning either (heckels always have "royal" type striations).
I would guess that they are from the Rio Negro area.

I wouldn't worry if you don't have any "blueface", I have seen some beautifull Rio Negro heckels and I mean some real stunners.
It just takes time and patience but I wouldn't say no to your Heckels, they really are of a superb quality.

Looks nice. What are sump measurments, what do you feed them (and how many times), wc regime and what is tank stock?
Great looking wild tanks.. You may be sorry you don't have a top on your tank though.. They do jump !! Where did you buy your wilds from ?? Thanks, David T
