    Hi
    I forgot to let you know what happened at the Italian show. Heckel went there and came back with.............nothing. German judge disqualified all heckels, because of their red eyes. In his opinion, heckels must have black eyes and that's it!!! He said, that all fish shown are royal blues. End of the story!!!! Heiko Bleher was there ( us an observer) and he just couldn't belive what was going on. I hope you will not invite that judge to Australia!!!! This is a tread to show results. At the bottom of that page you will see all fish at the competition

    We done some changes to heckels tank. Removed all plants, add more driftwood, peat moss, bits and pieces of wood and floating plants. Heckels just love it

    Hi
    Little up date onour heckels.
    We have lost one .
    This heckel arrived last year with a little wound on the dorsal fin. We have tried everything possible on that wound (looked like a cigarete burn), but it was growing biger and biger and finaly cut thruough the fin, later fin broke completely, and that was it. Heckel lost the battle.
    Out of four that are left, there id a pair 100%.
    In may the pair was dancing, shivering, shaking and cleaning root.
    It was going on for 3 days and...............stoped.
    Maybe next time....................

    I think you have the nicest heckels I have ever seen Barbara.

    I really hope that pair breed for you.

    Please keep us informed :P
    Thirty-five years keeping and breeding discus, and I'm still learning :P
