VERY NICE! Good luck! Please share pics of the fry as they grow.
Bought some Stendker tefe's from Hans and some wild Japura greens from Snookn21. Got a pair out of the Stendkers and the other two turned out to both be females. I started thinking..............since the tefe is a domestic that Stendker created to look like a wild, why not mate the with a wild. I put one of the females with a beautiful Nahmunda semi blue. Have the 3rd batch of eggs right now but no success yet.
I put the other female in with 4 Japura greens I got from Snookn21. Only took a couple of days till she picked one out.
I took the other two out of the tank and sure enough they spawned. First try and they got it right. Well, I did use a screen. This is my first successful spawn also. Great feeling. Here they are with the fry.
I am really excited to see how this cross will turn out. I don't know genetics but I think it is going to be really nice.
VERY NICE! Good luck! Please share pics of the fry as they grow.
Man, that was fast! I am excited to see how they turn out too! Keep us updated! I think they are gonna be some killer looking babies!
All the best,
Eddie

Thanks guys. I appreciate the compliments. I will definitely update with pics down the road. Now if I can just get the tefe x Nahmunda to cooperate. Pictures don't do him justice. He is a really great looking blue.
The Tefe and the Nahmunda look amazing in person. Honestly, side by side, the tefe looks 100% wild.
And the fry look stunning, it's amazing how well those two are doing at parenting.
Thanks Jared. The tefe x tefe laid eggs after you left last night.
Those Stendker discus are so promiscuous!
Looking forward to what develops form this cross!
When science and magic collide, the story begins.
Larry,
Thats awesome!! Please post often on their development...I really enjoy the wild X domestic crosses. One of my favorites was a wild green X domestic (snake) ..
best of luck!

Larry I also offer my congratulations and wish you much success raising thr fry fro your various pairs. I haope you get some no-hybrid breeders, too. Getting various species strains established is desirable before we create a lot of hybrids but we will have uses for both pure strains and wild hybrids.

that will be intersting X, keep us the up date

beautiful wilds there Larry, best of luck with the new pair!
Ain't that the truth. They have been laying eggs about every 5 or 6 days.
Thanks Al. I will definitely post updates.
Thanks Larry. I do have non hybird pairs. These guys just happened to be the first to get it right.
It will indeed be fun seeing what they look like. I think they will be fantastic but what else would I think, lol.
A cigar wouldn't do me much good either, lol. Thanks. They would certainly fit the rule for your tank.........no two alike.
