@Pat:I have several sorts of discusfish and i like the reddish ones the most.I think it is a mix of wilds but 3 wilds I bought as Nhamunda Rose.

Hello Disgirl.Thanks for your good words.Maybe i have to disappoint you but i have fake plastic plants.I have big L numbers which will demolize my plants.I do use plants but only with the roofs in the water to bring out the nitrate of the water.I hope you understand me.My english is not that good.LOLLLLLL

I love wild Discus but I do believe that they should stay in the wild its so over fished that the numbers are dwindling..............Josie

Thanks all for the compliments.

@Bibsun:I bought my discusfish from other discuskeepers.8 of them were very skinny because they were together with rays in a tank.I feed them well so they get bigger and bigger.The other for I bought from another discuskeeper.They bought them in some good aquariumshops who import wildcaught discusfishes.

@Josie:That is the opinion you have about wildcaught discusfish.I respect that.
