  1. #1

    Default is their a strain that looks like wild discus

    i want to try discus im an experienced fish keeper (13 years)

    so the ones i like best are wild greens but i dont want to start with wild discus

    is their a captive strain that closely resembles the wild ones. or are their any strains that are known for being hardy.


    any advice would be great thanks

    Yes there are tank bred strains that resemble wilds. Many of the sponsors will have wild crosses or f1

    I have seen alenquer F1, Cuipeua F1, Royal Blue F1, and Heckel cross but never seen any that resemble wild green.

    so this might be asking to much but i have harder water with a ph of 7.2 out of the tap
    i want to keep them in that since its super stable and i have never had a ph crash and i keep planted tanks


    thats why i want a captive bread strain

    I suggest you check out Discus Hans. He is a sponsor here. He has what you want...Hardy tank bred fish that resemble wilds.
