Don't know how I missed this thread...
Beautiful fish, I hope they are doing well.
With all of the color strains out there, wild discus have taken a turn in popularity. I still love the look of wild fish but have nothing against the color strains.
Nice job!

Lovely discus! In my opinion the wild types have always been more beautiful than most of the varieties produced in captivity.

Those are Beauties, when you are doing those water changes alternate carrying the buckets with each arm or you will have a 39in bicept and 12 on the other!!
LOL!!

nice heckels and alenquer discus. very nice indeed, ar they really wild caught? i have some wild caught heckels and they are not so perfect as yours and i keep heckels for at least years... i think they are german breed. but still very nice
if they are really wild caught you should try to give them a diet similar to the one they are used to in the river, so you should give some vegetables, insects , worms (live). donīt abuse on the bloodworms thy are too fatty and they would harm the liver of your marvelous discus.
try to put them eating dry food also.
welcome to the amazing world of the real discus enjoy and chill out
