A couple of shots of my newly acquired Nhamunda Blue Wilds.

Have been keeping Heckels and Altums earlier. Heckels without success and Altums with great success.

great video mate...didnt want to take my eyes off...

[Ouscazz]

Thanks guys, I really appreciate it!

Here's a full tank shot. Shot without a flash and it's extremely hard to nail the white balance, hence the yellowish color scheme. Water is quite brown and I use a single old and tired yellow T8 tube as light source, just as it's supposed to be...

Tank is 99 G.

Thanks Vera!

These guys are just fantastic! The importer got them directly from Manaus, Brazil two weeks ago, I got them the day before yesterday and they are already acclimatized. No signs of stress or dislikeings. I have never before seen Discus, wild or captive bred, acclimatize that fast. The hierariky fight within the group has already started and there's no doubt who's the alfa animal.

Cool !that black ring really stands out
Best of luck
Which Altums did u have (Orinoco) or others ?

[Ouscazz]

Thanks Vera!

There is only one true P. Altum, the Orinoco Altum. All others are P. Scalare.
My group of P. Altums were, according to Heiko, from Rio Inirida wich is part of the Orinoco River basin.

Gorgeous group Ouscazz!! my" wonna have "fish !
thank u for pictures , do u still have them ?

[Ouscazz]

Thanks. No, I don't have them anymore.

Absolutely fantastic looking fish, but actually, I got really bored with them. They are not at all like discus, they eat, crap and swim.. like goldfish.. Discus interract with humans, Altums don't, at least mine didn't.

This is a great pic! Awesome depth of field! What camera/lens did you use? I'm guessing a macro lens?
