Nice looking fish everyone!
Ryan, are those all wild browns? Very nice.

Tad, very nice group!

Everyone,
What water conditions, and food do you use? Do you treat your wilds different than domestics?

Thanks
Ardan

Hey Ardan,

Yes, they are all browns. Cool huh? They're only around 3-3.5" right now but already are showing incredible shape and color. I can't wait to see how they look as adults!

Although it may not be necessary, I try to keep their pH around 6.5 or so. I've been using RO to get it down. As far as food goes, they'll eat anything... ANYTHING. They're the most aggressive eating Discus I own and it doesn't matter what I throw in the tank.

Other than the RO, I treat them exactly the same as my domestics.

Ardan,
I keep my wilds in an RO/Tap mix that keeps the PH a steady 6.5 just like RyanH , My wilds will also eat about anything that I throw in the tank including CBW's, Hikari Bloodworms, HBH Better sinking bits, Tetra Bits, Brine Shrimp and once in awhile some BeefHeart. The RSGs that I got from Alberto are some of the most aggressive eating fish that I have ever owned and have taught the Wilds that I got from Oliver "do not snooze or you loose " All in all I personally feel that wilds are just as easy to keep as domestics, if not easier!

Tad,

Thanks for your kind comments! Yes, finally we are all settled and we are enjoying our new location, no traffic, lol!!!

Those knife fish are really something! We received many new exotic fish and are eye-catching

I don't know in what part of your "wishing list" are the heckels but look at these Abacaxis......

Alberto, my Heckels are from Rio Abacaxi too. They are verry hard to find here in the market at Brasil, and $$$$

Just curios, how much does it cost in Florida?
