Finally this weekend I will be able to start work on my second major project, the Heckels.
After some research and some help on the forum it seems like my "Madeira" Heckels are in fact from the Abacaxis. The confusion according to Heiko Bleher comes from the fact that the Discus collected there must be transported over land to be then shipped from a city by the Madeira river (Nova Olinda). Makes perfect sense.
Some pics of the actual fish.

The actual aquarium they will be housed in is currently occupied by 10 Stendker Discus, which will go to my wife's 90gal in her office at work. So there will be lots of cleaning going on this weekend, chlorine and Safe are my friends helping with that.
This is how the tank currently stands, it will be moved to another room to make space for the 325 greens tank.
The 3D background will not be used for the Heckels, I'll spray the back of the tank black or dark brown, with plastidip
