I have one Wattley original from the Wantanabe shipment. The fish doesn't have the best shape but the color is awesome.

Rick, Dale Jordan told me last year his Wattley Strain did not come from Watanabe. He wouldn't tell me who in Japan they came from.

My first discus were Wattley turquoise 25 years ago and remember the amazing discus from Hong Kong at about the same time. Also remember hormone treatment was common back then to enhance color, especially the reds. That's not the case today, but the Wattley were exceptional back then!
Hormone treatment is the rule today still.
I too got some turqs directly from Jack back in the early eighties.
You are welcome have some when my pair decide to raise their fry.
The fertilization is poor. Only a few hatch and because of this the parents eat the wrigglers as soon as they hatch.
I'm planning a trip to Ontario in February/March. Hopefully you guys will have some of your Wattley's available.
