My " Heckel Project"

[kov25]

Hi all!
I would like to present my Nhamunda Heckel Discus. I bought this january from Daniel Matthäus ( Amazon-Exotic Import) . There are 8 Nhamunda and 1 Unini Heckel fishes. I keep them in a 650 liter aquarium with sand and wood . I don't use light . The water is tea-coloured from peat . The water ’s parameters are h:under 4,5, conductivity :50-70 microS,GH: 0-1, Kh 0 nutrition: tetra diskus granules , spirulina disc nutrition , white mosquito larvae , Shellfish-shrimp mix .
Best regards,
István Kovács

I put a „test fish” (German Türkiz F3 female ) into the aquarium this month .After two days a dominant heckel male and the hybride female reproduced . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYhdIcLyklc ( I’m sorry ,the quality is wrong) I have removed the "breeding cone". and now grow up they artificially.
