I just love it when Taksan decides to take some photos of my fish. He makes them look so gorgeous.

I've just recently added 4 wild caught red alenquers, but they are still a bit camera shy.

Please excuse the bubbles in some of the shots. I have a heap of oxygen going into that tank.

Current residents of the ten foot Jebo:-

2 Royal Blues
4 Pineapple heckels
4 Red Alenquers
2 Inca Red Heckels
2 Blue face Heckels
6 Bolivian Rams

and

2 Wild caught Altums :wink:

Not easy to get a full tank shot, because it's ten foot long, but I'll try :P

I have a chance to pick up some wild caught ones. Are they harder to keep? Can they be mixed with TR? Thanks! Great fish, by the way, Merrilyn.

Other than during spawning and pre-spawning activity...is there any way of telling wild caught males from females, just by looking at them?

Merriyln, they are absolutely breathlessly stunning especially in a group shot. i don't even want to estimate the total cost of these wilds. great photos by taksan. like i suggested that before you should make a 2008 wild discus calender!
