    Ewok,

    Take a look at the sponsor pages and who brings in what on a monthly basis.

    Your request has been very common lately and really seems to have blown up over the last few years. Many importers and breeders are crossing wilds and have many offerings for you take a look and find what you like.

    If you want real pure wilds there are guys here who sell those as well

    thanks. i have brought wilds from some of the vendors here in the past. it's been quite a few years since i've had discus. i've been lurking the forums lately as i intend to get back into the hobby in the next 9 -12 months hopefully. i've always liked the wild variants/wild looking fish more, so i'm curious if there were hobbyists who specialized in those as well.
    cheers!

    There are hobbyist that have contact me or LFS trying to sell offsprings from wild Discus, some were
    crosses. Local offsprings that have that wild Discus
    look were Blue moon Heckel cross(?), Hong Kong
    Blue and 4STAR Red (Wayne Ng).
    I have no bought any of these Discus as they don't
    fit into my progam. The problem arise as the hobbyist have limited experience in shipping.

    I think the Blue moon might have been bought from
    one of the importers on this forum, but I'm not sure
    if this person is a member of this forum.
    As for the Hong Kong Blues they came originally from Al's Aquarium once located in Oakland, California. The story of the offsprings of the
    4Star Red was the hobbyist first took the Discus
    to the LFS before contacting me, he
    didn't sell to the LFS because the said the
    Discus had no color and they offer only
    One dollar. You can see how the 4Star Red
    look on Wayne Ng website.
