A wild Idea!!!!

[Heiko Bleher]

Hi Pan,

I love Greece and Greek people, which I think are some of the friendliest on Earth (at least always to me). I am only sad about what happened to your place recently, I hope it get over soon (as it seems not to ended yet...).

Thank you for your kindness and I hope to come back soon to give some more seminars and be able to pass on some more messages, practical things I have learned with fishes all my life (sometime I think I should have been born a fish, or some of my ancestors were...). And those which are not in my book (and which will not be in volume 2).

Thanks and all the best to all your country people and have peace - at least for Christmas - and take care of your fishes, they will reward you,

always

Dear Heiko (and all others reading this interesting tread)!
Here are my wilds and if you please could take a look at them and give them a proper identification I would appreciate that.
As far as I have been told they should be:
No1 = Traira
No2 = Traira cross
No3 = Alenquer

The other pictures are just all three together in my tank as it looks today and a picture of one of my newly purchased Red Spotted Greens .
I hope you like them!

Hi Pelle,

thanks for the request. I can tell you the following:

first of all, all these blue discus (S. haraldi) are from the Alenquer region, for sure. And I think the 1. and 2. are from the Rio Curuá (there and in Cuipeuá, as you can see from my book, I found several times one with a so called Heckel-discus-center-bar, as in your 2nd. fish-photo).
I am also sure that these first two are brothers (or better brother and sister) and between 14-18 month old.

The 3rd photo-fish is a very typical so called Alenquer and is probably from the Lago Grande. And I guess about 12 month old.

The last photo shows two green Discus from the Lake Tafé region with an age of about 16 month.

Your tank is nice, but one advice: give than some floating plants for shade and/or some more driftwood to go under and/or in between coming from the top.

All the best and merry Cristrmas to you and your great fishes,

always

Many Thanks Mr. Bleher,
Now it is even more interesting to continue with Wild Discus.
I will take your advises and optimize my tank just as you say.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New year
