    Smile Heckles Cross from Miranda

    A couple of months ago, I had the great good fortune of getting two Heckle Cross's from Chicago Discus. They look like a cross of Red Alenquer and Blue Heckle? I've been meaning to post pics since I got them and happened to get lucky while walking by the tank with my phone in hand. Unfortunately, I couldn't get a good shot of either the Snow Leopard or the Red Cover but hopefully soon.

    Thank you, Miranda.

    Hey Jim,
    Those are two really sweet wild crosses you got from Chicago Discus. Nice shape! Those are probably some of the most wild looking tank raised I have seen... really nice!

    Ps.. good to see you here my friend!

    I agree with Al, these are super nice (almost wild) looking discus. How long have you had them?

    Love the picture of the first one with the blue 'halo' for the fins. They both look like great fish!

    Thanks everyone !!

    I have to agree, they are stunning, and I am so happy I got hold of them. Not only for the beautiful fish they are, but also how reminiscent they are of the old Wild Discus. I was just thinking about my old wilds the other night and wishing I had some today. Wilds behaved differently and seemed like they each had a separate personality, but I doubt I could afford them now.

    I've had these two for a couple of months now and they are growing like weeds. I also got a Red Cover and a Snow Leopard in the same shipment which are both gorgeous too! I'll try and get pics of them. Thanks Miranda
