Nice wilds as always

[dirtyplants]

Again Beautiful Pat! I can honestly say that I have some very beautiful discus, and I love the colors and strains, but when I see a wild my body just sighs, something I can not explain.

...when I see a wild my body just sighs, something I can not explain.

Probably just the brats and beans you had for dinner.

Absolutely Beautiful! I have made the decision to go Wilds and hope to get there soon! When I do, I hope mine will be as stunning as yours!

Thanks Kribs, you might never go back

Wilds are not my deal but you have beautiful fish Pat. Rufus

Thanks Rufus, one day you might get the bug.

LOL Kozy you really come up with some interesting images, but looking at my statement and your reply I could not stop laughing.

and a few heckels



I really like this one. Always shows a nice full bar.

What are your plans with the heckles Pat? Planning on trying to breed a pair, or shooting for a male heckle x other wild cross?

Really really really nice. Especially like the curua

[Second Hand Pat]

Yes to both Rick. ATM I am growing the heckels out as they were sub-adults when I got them. They have grown quite a bit since I have them and are maturing nicely. I think a heckel to any Alenquer region wild (red based) will make a attraction natural cross and there are the three heckel crosses from Tara which could be a potential pairing.

I do realize the heckel to heckel is highly unlikely but hoping the magic Florida water will help...

The thread I linked in the above post...this is the water parameters under which his heckels spawned under. This is music to my ears as sounds like my situation

Hi guys,
First I want say thank you to everyone for the kind words. This event became very exciting for me and mi camera..LOL

I will keep posting pictures of them weekly.............

Some of you were asking about the water parameters , ok here they are:

The water parameters at the time of the spawning were pH 6.7, 84ºF and 22µS. Everything started after a 50% water change. My water comes from a well at 900µS, pH 8.5, hardness 12º

This water is processed by my RO system (900GPD) and the result is 22µS with a pH 6.5 and 0.5 Kh and Gh.

Alberto
