Is this a natural Discus?
Hello Heiko
I have found this 12 bar discus http://www.neotropicalfauna.com/disc16.htm in the pages of Neotropical Fauna, Peru. I have hear that this may be this is collected in Rio Nanay.
Is this a true natural Discus?
Best regards
Bjørn

I think Heiko have a picture of a diskus that looks like this in his Book, i think that this is a wild caught diskus.

Jeg kjenner til denne referansen, men det er så lite beskrevet og med bilder at jeg er meget betenkt. Likevel så åpner det seg en Discus verden i Blehers bok som gjør at jeg har måttet endret min oppfattning av Discus som art flere ganger. Det er mulig at det er bare meg som trenger mere informasjon. Uansett er Discus det mest optimale innen akvariehobbyen.gep wrote:On page 191 Heiko describs diskus whit 9-16 bars

Bleher's Discus. Den mest fantastiske bok om natur og akvariefisk som noen gang er utgitt. Dette er bibelen til den vilt levende discus fantast.Mats Bruér wrote:gep wrote:I think Heiko have a picture of a diskus that looks like this in his Book, i think that this is a wild caught diskus.

Re: Is this a natural Discus?
Hi,
I am sorry to answer so late, but I did Interzoo 2008 – have a look ate http://www.aquapress-bleher.com and the Interzoo biotopes.
The fish from the mentioned site is NOT from the Nanay. It is a S. haraldi (blue-brown) from almost anywhere in its distribution (see my book – and I wonder that there is still a discus lover who does not have it...). As I mentioned in it: I found S. haraldi's with 8 up to 16 bars. That is found in several aras of their distribution and not limited to anyone to my knowledge. They mis constantly, and you have it also in the aquarium breeding variants. The so called "snake-skin" is a S. haraldi and can have also 10-16 bars.
Anyhow, those are not discus which are found in large quantities in nature, there are always some in between, as I have shown.
All the very best,
always
Heiko
