Hola Alberto felicidades, aca en Mexico ya estamos cumpliendo los requisitos para traer peces de ustedes, te mantendre informado
Nuevamente felicidades
I am so pleased to see this thread. I joined last year but as many of you know I am trying to breed my Heckels or I should say, I'm wating for them to grow up and hope they will spawn in my care.
I just received a copy of your book Mr. Bleher and I must say it is very good.
I began breeding wild discus in 1969 and operated my fish shop then and through the early 70's and looking at your photos was like a walk down memory lane only now I can relate some of the discus I had then to the typical variations' ranges.
I am already looking forward to the publication of Vol. 2.

Hello ,
This must have been a wonderful achievement ,just to get them to spawn in an aquarium let alone raise the fry to swimming stage,
Just an observation I have had Heckels showing signs of " courting " and the barring becomes really dark,and looking at Podden's thread his male Heckel is showing similar markings.The Heckels in this thread have no such barring.
But I have not ever got Heckels to this stage so cannot judge
thats what we aming at
( never seet this thread before, very impressive)
Hope everything gone good ( quite a while without update)
The fifth bar ( when going over my fish) could change in a couple of sec.
With fry it seems a little darker , as any other fish will try to make som color to attach fry.
I have fish from rio negro, marimari, nhamunda and I think the display the bar different in community tank.
Alberto seemed to drop off the radar a couple years ago.
His web site was still accessible but I have had no responses from him to any e-mails including my responses a couple years ago when he contacted me on simplydiscus via pm offering to sell me various F1 juveniles from Red Spotted greens and Royal Blues.
A mutual friend told me that Alberto scaled back his operations to home and that is all the more info I was ever to receive.
I often wondered if Alberto remains involved with breeding and importing wild Discus since he used to get such lovely specimens.
