Sighting 06 Jan 08: Wild discus and corydoras

[Simon]

Sighted at Wuhu, Heckels and wild green about 3-4inches, looks healthy and also a few nice corydoras (possible C109, C084 I ain't a corydoras fanatics so forgive me if I get the ID wrong)

i saw the wild fish when i was there last week...it was amusing because one shop attendant was declaring very loudly to the other one that the heckels were "bulldog heckels". had to resist laughing in his face. domestic devleloped mutant strain appearing in all his wilds?

Bulldog heckels? Lol~now that's something new i haven't heard!
Well,of all the gimmicky names they give fauna nowadays this definitely tops the list!
Talking about heckels reminds me of altums!On a side note,saw C328 carrying altums in the other day when i was there.They were all individually packed and left in the CRS tanks(with chiller) on the left of the cashier. Looks absolutely beautiful.
Any angelfish fan here got them?

I believe what the shop attendant meant was blueface heckel not bulldog, just a common mistake.

the angels you saw at C328 are Peruvian angels not altums

Hi, I am not related to the shop and have not brought anything from them yet but I know that where fishes is concern, the owner knows his busness and there are very few lfs like them now who dares to stock out of the ordinary stuff.

I've been amazed by Ben since the days at the old market stall. One tiny stall and he could put a full size LFS to shame with his variety. I like the seng poh shop. He keeps his fish in proper displays. The staff may not be knowledgeble but they are friendly and are WILLING to listen to customer advise.

nope, he said bulldog and even described to the other guy the extended fins/body that gives the bulldog discus its distinctive shape (which the fish did not have anyway).

these were the attendants not the owner

One advice they gave to me and Ranmasatome is "Don't listen to what the forums say. They are all wrong! Listen to us."

[celticfish]

OMG! ROTFL!!

[StanChung]

A pic would confirm immediately all the speculation. lol.

[FireSpitter]

Any idea how much are they selling the wild greens?

[Simon]

6 red notes, written on the tank

[FireSpitter]

Thanks... think I'll drop by one of these evenings. One more thing... what time do they close?

[Simon]
