    Default Return of the Heckels

    After a 7 year hiatus, I'm back to heckel discus

    Some pics after intro my 6 pcs of mari mari heckels into my 4ft on 21jan. Started eating right away!





    A shot with just blue led



    pH dropped to around 5.6
    Any tank mates good for low pH? Lost 2 green laser Cory after a week

    FTS



    The big bully right infront. The group seems to be quite rowdy. Always chasing each other. A couple of them lip lock too.



    After 16 days in the tank on 7Feb,

    All camping under auto feeder, smart! Currently on FBW, FBS, mysis, tetrabits, flakes and NLS.



    My favourite




    Thanks to Illumnae & JZX for the poison and bringing them in. Of course, Hudson for all these magnificent wilds!
    Another shipment came in yesterday... Hmmmm
