hey guys. What’s your favorite discus between Heckels and royal cupieau discus? I have some royal cupieau coming in but would really love to get some yellow faced blue Heckels as well from discus.com. Has anyone gotten either of these fish from there and if so could you share pics. Share pics of your Heckels regardless of whom there from as well. I wanted to get the cupieau royals for now since they closer resmemble the iripixi I have coming with them as well so wanted to blend them in together at first but for sure want to add a group of Heckels as well along with a few more iripixi. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks

Its really a matter of personal preference. For tanks under 100 gallon I prefer only one- two types of discus. For a 150 gallon, three types would be fine.
If you were asking my preference of the 2, I would get the Heckels... but, this is only based on what I like.

I’m going to get some Heckels in the near future after I get a few more iripixi. Would like to have 4 iripixi 4 cupieau royals and a few Heckels.
 
Heckels are gorgeous, but come from a lower pH than many other wilds. They require more maintenance to get their water chemistry spot on. If you have experience with that already, they should be fine
