Royals?

Getting a female heckle is not the hard part. The hard part is getting a female heckle to lay eggs. Female wilds in general are hard to get to spawn but female heckles are the hardest which is why so few heckles have been bred in captivity.

Thank You! Larry, any suggestion or recommendation how to breed them with domestic? come on show us your secret

The crosses I have done in the past were always with a male wild. Males, wild or domestic, just plain want to breed. So that is my only real trick. Otherwise I treat them just as I would a domestic pair.

Larry or others, going back to the map a minute... Is there any reasoning behind the colors and types being where they are? Is it for cammofaluge, water temp, etc?

I guess what I mean is why do all the reds for instance tend to be in that Alenquer region...? Where the heckles are more towards another area, and so on and so forth?

All this talk of Heckels gets me excited.

Cool thread with some good discussions. Keep it going . nofear, don't let others dissuade you from what you want, HOWEVER, make sure you do a lot of research on the things they pose as concerns. Personally, the researching phase is huge for me, and I like to research things you shouldn't do so that I avoid them from the very start. Listen to what people tell you, but more importantly, KNOW which people you should be listening to.

Can someone tell me if this is a royal or semi Royal image.jpeg

[Phillydubs]

That is really a hard pic to see much from... But by the looks of it, that seems like some type of cross and not a true wild discus... Tell us more about it, where you got it and share more pics please

This would be a domestic discus, not wild

[warblad79]

More like a cobalt blue and definitely not a wild.

Here's what Wild Royal Blue looks like,
