Hello all... I am back with a wild discus tank after a short venture into tanganyikans. First time to keep heckels though!
The good news is that the wild discus season is a little longer this year and there are still quality discus available at this time. Manage to grab a box of them home on Saturday from JZX (Singapore dealer for H&K). They are now stable but yet to be conditioned after a long flight from Brazil - so pardon the torn fins and scratches.
Here are some pictures of them. Lighting is still a little dim to help them settle in.
Some individual shots:
Both sides of the same piece...

Another one... is it considered a blue moon?

Tank shot - very happy that they are stable and now schooling left and right. Initial days they were just huddled in a corner.
