u can get cheap wild alenquer for like only $50. Curipia and Yamenda very seperated, die a lot if don't transport on river and Japanese love them so much that's why some rivers' alenquer are so expensive.
another reason why wild discus are not so popular is that all the beautiful thing is fashion. more people like cheap fashion rather than expensive classic.
I'm asking this because I genuinely don't know, but are there any issues with wild stocks being depleted or the best of the wilds being removed, lowering the overall quality of the wild stocks? Or is there a big enough wild stocking level with a small enough specialist market that it's not an issue?
That fish is stunning by the way, and I'm sorely tempted, or at least will be when I have the experience on the nasty Asian mutants. That I still love, though I take your point.
far too true taksan, still mate, beutiful photo, thanks for sharing. WOW Id trade all my fish for a pair like that.

that's hot
yeah that is a pretty awsum fish.
great looking fish,
what is wrong with asian breeders to come up with different strains? the word "mutant" is way too strong. imagine if everyone only keeping wild discus how boring is that. there is no point to have photo column here since everyone has the same wild. not every asian mutant is $200 there are cheaper one (includes 1000% mark up) that suit other people's budget and taste. not everyone can afford or willing to pay $350 for a wild. what would the world become if we only have one choice for each product and no more variety?
They are mutants and they are ALL abominationsQuote:
