    Wild update.

    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

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

    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.
