    Default Some Pic's of my Wild Blues

    Hello.
    Just a few Pic's of my Wild Royal/Semi Royal Blues,they are nearing breeding condition ,and in quite a planted tank by my standards (which makes it difficult to take pics)
    By the way most of the more colorful ones seem to be male !
    Will try to fill you all in on params and feeding for these and Heckels as soon as i can, time seems tight at the moment.

    Those are very nice discus. Back 20 years or so ago when I was in the wholesale biz these quality of fish were only dreamt of existing but never seen not even in books. I wonder sometimes how they came into being.

    Hi Bill
    They look great. We don't see many royals offered here.
    Picture 1 and picture 4 is the same fish. Is the difference in color lighting or spawning color or something else?
    Nice pictures.

    Thanks Bill,
    So many things effect their color, water, food, breeding and age.
    Again, really nice wilds and good pics, well done.
