No one takes photos like Taksan, and no one captures my fish so perfectly. Thankyou darling. As usual, your photos are superb :D

This new pair of wild caught Royal Blues have just gone into the community tank, after being in quarantine for 2 months. I can't stop looking at them. The colours are stunning :!: No photoshop and no colour enhancing. This is just the way they appear.

Taksan, admit it, you love them, and you can take as many photos of them as you like. Next time, I'll even let you use your own camera and process the photos properly :D but I'm thrilled with the photos you took with my camera.

Gypsy3 most aquarium shops will order in wild fish for you, although royal blues are not available very often, and will be quite expensive. These fish were imported through a private source and came via Japan.

Illusn and Scotty, full tank shot coming up :wink: also pics of the wild caught Inca Red Heckels. Just waiting for them to settle in a little more.

Barbara, in some photos the royal blues seem to show a heckel bar mid body, but they're not really classed as heckels are they?

Thankyou everyone for the lovely comments.

Merrilyn,
Those fish are absolutely stunning, pity I am having a break from Discus, otherwise i would be getting some of these fish for my collection.
Your source seems to know what wild caughts to get.
All the best with them.
