    The experience with wilds

    Many years ago I started with Discus just for joke, I had many breeds but I never found someone to share my experience and I gave away everything becouse too lonely.
    Now with internet information is different.
    On october I visited a forum, just to see some pic of the King, and I saw heckels...the exciting thing was that it is considered too difficult: that's why I thought immediately it will be mine
    The beginning was with the heckels that you may see on "welcome", but when I bought them they were a beat different. Some pic

    ...and now
    The difference with the olt tank: bigger, ph about 4,9-5 cond. 100 microsiemens.
    No many plants.
    I have observed a lot the behaviour of wild discus, and they don't feel confortable in an ambient full of green...they mostly prefer the brown of roots, of water and some floating plant (ceratopteris thalictroides, lemna minor)just to give less light and security to the group.

    Always sorry for my bad english

    Royal blu I've bought two weeks ago was as you see...

    Salvo your fish are magnificent, and you have done a wonderful job of raising them.

    A very warm welcome to to the forum. We are always delighted to see wild discus.

    And you english is excellent, so please don't worry.
    Thirty-five years keeping and breeding discus, and I'm still learning :P

    Your discus are absolutely marvellous Ginko!

    You should be very proud of them, as they look stunning and very healthy!

    Regards

    Nice discus Salvo,

    And you have a good sense of humor as well.

    I have my discus in a heavily planted tank and after seeing
    your setup, I want to put angels in the heavily planted tank.

    I will put the discus into a tank like yours.

    Mine are not wild though, one day I would like to get some wilds.

    Cheers,

    Mark
