    Well it took 4 spawns. The first three spawns had no fertilized eggs. Just checked and there are wigglers in the 4th spawn. Looks to be a small batch, maybe 25 or so, but they are now proven. Really looking forward to working with this pair.

    I have to disagree with this statement. It is my belief that F1 is only used when both parents are wild. It shows the fish being one generation away from wild and that isn't what you have with wc x F1. I have seen people use F1.5 but I don't believe that is really technically correct either. I would probably just show the off spring as wc x F1.

    I believe that they will be primarily Alenquer looking discus but I hope that a percentage of them will show the heckle bar.

    Well 3 1/2 months after they first paired off and 6 weeks after the first wigglers, that were eaten, they finally have their first successful spawn. One thing I can tell you is if you want to work with wilds or F1's a great deal more patience is needed than with domestics.

    Congratulations Larry and glad they worked out for you. Both parents are gorgeous as will the offspring once they fill out.

    Thanks everyone!

    Pat, not really much of a halo on the heckle.
