Hi hi Pat, you know I always follow your threads in SD . Your wild breeding and many types of wilds and your photography skill are amazing. Yeah...nowadays am much happier than the first time getting wild. At first due to poor QT, got hit by gram negative bacteria, then white poo I suspect HEX and so on... luckily manage to fix them all. But later realise that frequent soft water change seems to be the key to everything.
Will definitely come back to this thread and update with pictures once my remote flash trigger arrive .
First of all, fantastic pics worthy of commition to national geographic magazine. You could make even ugly lfs discus look like beauties. Second, niiice wilds. Third, what are tank parameters, water parameters, wc regime, filtration and their diet (types and frequency)?

Beautiful school of wilds.
Beautiful all around, both fish and pics! Stunning!
I almost didn't post because everyone's said what I was going to say already, but +1 to everything! I like how even though they've got plenty of room that they still school together, and their colors play off one another so nicely; great tank!
Thank you very much, Novjoe
Thanks a lot, Discus STU. Happy to know you like it.
Thank you very much, Aquadon2222. Yeap, I find that wilds seem to be more harmony compare to my domestic. I think that's just how they behave in nature as they need to be in group to get better protection.
Finally remote flash arrived and have been trying out for the past 3 hours, here's some results:

Hahaha..Ricardo!!! I remembered seeing your very nice turq grown up! They are amazing!!!
Haha...yes, indeed, you can find this post in SD Disease/Sickness section, wink wink...
After reading through Bleher's book, and get to know that some turq. from the Doctor, Schmidt-Focke, is actually the product of Royal discus. Love those oild-style turqs and Piwo Red Turqs.

Hi Jacklyn, I put lots of effort to take these photos Hahaa...but most importantly is the newly arrived remote flash trigger. I think that's a very important component in taking fish photography. Yeah....I regret for having the combination of wilds, but if they were just one type, I think the tank would look much better. Shame that I have a small house with limited space and tanks.
Haha...thanks, Ivan. Wilds are very attractive fish.
