Red Ica or Brown Heckel

**pavlos** · 08-08-2015, 10:10 AM

It's not a wild discus, but a bred one from IP Discus - Tony Tan.
I bought it as a Red Ica Heckel but I wonder/fear if it is going to finally be a Brown Heckel. What do you think?

P.S. Sorry about the bad quality of the pics but I took them from my phone. I will try later for better ones.1.jpg 2.jpg 3.jpg

I am not sure what it is, but I can tell you that this is one fine looking discus. You rarely see the heckle bar connect like that with the halo

Thanks a lot! You are absolutely right. It's I a wonderful discus, one of my favs.

Very cool! Any idea of the age. And could you tell us he size?? I think that would help people try and take a stab at the future coloration.

I saw someone selling F1/F2 Ica Red with center bar like that.

Very unique, I have never seen the heckel bar connect with the halo like that. That's quite a specimen to have in a Discus collection. impressive!!!

Thanks a lot all of you.. Some better ones... I think it's going to turn out as a Red Ica

I can't tell you what it is, but I really like the pattern and color on that one. Wouldn't mind having a tank of those.

It looks like a Heckel cross. I think that would be the best classification.

Thanks a lot oll of you for your kind words

I do not really care gor the classification.
The thing that matters to me is the discus to turn out red and keep the heckel bar. Time will tell the truth... I will try to keep the thread updated.
