I really like wild fish and yours look very healthy. I image that that's what they would look like in their river.

I have been getting some great information and ideas for the planted tank (93 gal) I will be setting up soon. Thank you all.

I would like to know if anyone has had experience buying wild fish from Aquatechnics, Inc. (Miami, FL). Additionally I'm not sure what time of year healthy wild discus are available. Lastly, I would like to hear opinions regarding the pros and cons of starting with f1's of wild discus - are they wild? I'm not setup to receive fish yet but am starting to research sources of wild discus. I had purchased some wild fish around 1998 but lost them a couple of years later during a power outage. Those fish I had gotten from David Weber in NYC (I’m located a little north of NYC).

Thanks in advance,
Bryan

Please sir, may we have a few more photos?
Seriously, you have some interesting wilds. Could you show off some of your Red Spotted Greens, too?

Namor!
