Wild update.

[Merrilyn]

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 :wink:

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.

[Rowland]

Now those are great fish! Absolute credit to their keeper!

Other than during spawning and pre-spawning activity...is there any way of telling wild caught males from females, just by looking at them?

[Gajowa]

Merrilyn, they are stunning looking fish!
At what pH and temperature are you keeping them in?

Merriyln, they are absolutely breathlessly stunning especially in a group shot. i don't even want to estimate the total cost of these wilds. great photos by taksan. like i suggested that before you should make a 2008 wild discus calender!
