    IMO the term Heckel used in these situations is techniquely not correct. The name is a selling ploy. Beautiful fish however.

    I don't want to remember how much I've spent trying to buy fish that looked like Ica Reds. Never came close. Sigh!
    At my age, everything is irritating.

    Willie, are you still interested in the Ica Red? If so I will send some your way no cost, if and when I get a spawn that gets to fry without becoming dinner first!

    I'd love it. We can talk about the cost if this happens.

    Thanks, Willie

    Wow! Those are very nice!
    I have two domestic x heckles but they are like the one in the background.
    I do not live to far from Willie so if you do get fry and ship, maybe I can buy some from you. I’d love to get on the list.

    I wondered about it myself. Here is a link for you. http://fb.watch/4pNh-B9efL/

    The bars should be black, as you well know. Also in the video the bars should be black for both fish. Google "Ica Red" and then 'Images". You will see the red but always the black bars.
