    Default Wild Peruvian Discus

    Hello all,
    I just wanted to share some photos of my wild Peruvian discus. I have a particular interest in wild discus, and hope you enjoy the images.
    Cheers,

    Hi Pat,
    Thank you kindly for the nice words. I, too, like the green discus. I'm fascinated with the lore behind them in Peru, and their possible introduction from Tefe, Brazil.

    Hi Al,
    Thank you, too, for the nice words about my greens. I've had them now just over a month, and they are getting better by the day.

    Cheers,

    Hi Daniel,
    Thank you very much for the nice words. I'm very happy with them. Currently they're being housed in a 65-gallon aquarium with some wild altum angels (Rio Inirida locale) and some manufactured discus. My current fishroom is in a state of flux at the moment, and thus I'll be changing a few things around. After the changes are made, and the fish calm down, I'll be sure to post up photos of the aquarium. My journey with discus as a serious discus-keeper is very new, despite 30 years of being "in the hobby." I'm looking forward to the ride!
    Cheers, and thanks again,
    ---Brian

    Thank you very much, Patty. These came from a friend of mine whom imports directly from Peru. I'm very pleased with them.
