Two new wilds

[pavlos]

Hello! Just showing my two new wilds that I will hopefully use for breeding with domestic leopards. The one is cameta and the other one... I do not really remember The photos are taken at the second day after they came. Enjoy

What would you get crossing them with a leopard?

[pavlos]

Oh the photos are not in the right direction.. Can I change it somehow?

I do not really know but I do hope that I will have Leopards again... I want to (lets say) clean the gene of leopards with wild blood as I will try to make my own leopards in many many many years from now...

Any guessing on the sex?

Why not use wild RSG's?

[pavlos]

Cause they are hardier to breed, they are really really difficult to find and extremely expensive here in Greece. I lastly saw (real) spotted tefes at 700€. Plus that I need the better shape and size that brown and blue have.

Ahhhh, did not realize you were in Greece. I'm in Florida, USA. During season, it's not that hard to find wild greens and wild red spotted greens. Good luck and nice looking fish!

I love Florida and there was an option to continue my studies there, but it's far far away from home... Believe me these times everything is difficult here in Greece... specially to find generally wilds at a reasonable price... thank you for your kind words!

I noticed that after removing a couple of domestic discus from my tank so as not to let them breed there, the two wilds are always together and are really angry with the other discus. They are territorial and one of them prefers chasing others than eating... They are also a bit more shy than before... Could this be a mating procedure that wilds are used to?

I would think the reason for the shyness is the removal of the fish. Sounds like normal discus behaviors to me vs mating behaviors.

+1, Paul by removing two fish you have disturbed the hierarchy that had already begun in the group of fish. Now with those two gone the rest of the group has to re-establish who is boss and who is minion.............lol

That was my thought too but I was hoping to hear something different 😜
