Alenquer F1 x Nhamunda Blue Face Heckle
Several months ago Uncle Sam's Discus brought in a 2nd shipment of adult Alenquer F1's. As soon as I saw the first face book post I emailed Darwin and told him to put me down for another male and female. He emailed back and said they were all female. I went ahead and got 2 females. Around the same time I purchased a couple of Nhamunda Blue Face heckles and Cuipeua from John (Snookn21). About the same time Mark (Discus Origins) posted a couple of casual line Cuipeua Royals. I bought both of them. I only knew the sex of the 2 Alenquer F1's (female) so I put them both in with 1 blue faced heckle, the 2 Cuipeua Royals and 1 Cuipeua solid hoping that they were males and I might get pairs with the Alenquer's. It didn't take long for one of the Alenquer to appear to pair off with the Nhamunda. Then the Cuipeua solid appeared to pair off with one of the Cuipeua Royals which left the other Alenquer F1 with the other Cuipeua Royal. I put each pair in 40 breeders.
The Alenquer F1 with the Nhamunda has been acting like she wanted to spawn for about a week now. Today she finally did and the Nhamunda appears to fertilize the eggs. Time will tell.......

beautiful. question, what do you call an F1 and pure wild cross? F1.5??
Re: Alenquer F1 x Nhamunda Blue Face Heckle
What should we see come from this pairing do you think Larry? Will you get a mix of heckles and alenquer or will it just be a blend of both?

If one parent is wild, the offspring is F1 again, no matter how many generations the other parent has been bred
