[dragonfish]

Very nice. Those are what I remember a friend having when I was a kid, yes we kept fish then. These are so much nicer than what is usually available.

You can't beat properly kept wild discus, IMO i prefer them to all the tank bred colourful strains that are available. Nice fish mate.

wilds are more expensive because 1- they are not commercially bred like many of the fancy strains we have. 2- they have to be collected, acclimate, imported, which adds to the cost

thus it makes them a lot rarer.

i agree - wilds definitely are stunners in their own right. their subtle colors are very suited for a planted tank in my opinion, compared to the bright reds or blues in domestic strains

simplydiscus.com go look under gulf coast discus in the sponsor list. the season for wilds is approaching as well, so if anyone is looking into getting wilds, now is your chance

it turns out i have wild blues... everyone on the simplydiscus forum is telling me so. SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGH
i'm getting half my money back though, but it's a real bummer that i didn't get greens. when i got them i was already kind of questioning that, but i wanted to see what the experts thought - so yup, still back to square one. i like these guys, but i definitely, definitely still want spotted greens... the search continues
