Ohhhhhh taksan. Where did you find that pic?
Can you imagine ten of them in the eldorado tank.

Are you sure thats the real deal :shock: :shock:
Wayne
hybrid for sure lol
or not
Now that is what I call a real fish.
Nothing but the real deal there, gotta love the brown base against the blues, and one thing that is only usually seen in Wild Discus is the colouration (blue spots) featuring in the 4th through 8th stress bar
Bull$hit its a wild.....captured 10/09/2006 30kms south of the main alenquer capture region.
Ok mate just checking :D
Thanks for the clarification taksan :wink:
Geez we would love to have these fish here in Australia for sale
Fingers crossed everyone :roll:

I second that Wayne, makes you wonder why we spend so long stuffing about and chasing down the latest and greatest asian imports. thats how fish are suppose to look.
that is a awesome looking fish .would love to see it in person, infact would love to see it in my tank hehe
The reason why people hear spend their time on those Asian mutants is well known.... they are quite cheap (and twice as nasty).Quote:

Fish like the one I've picture wholesale for over $350ea and would cost in excess of $700ea in Australia.
Not many people here are prepared to spend that on the real deal but strangly enough seem quite happy paying $200 for fish that wholesale in Asia for $20.
In real terms these fish are cheaper ......your only paying 100% markup in total locally for the real fish yet your paying 1000% markup for the mutants and people think the wild fish are expensive???? its quite bizzare.
