Wild Discus Selection



Over 12 years the Wild Discus selection methods has been modified. Nowadays, we look for more than 20 Wild Discus communities of different patterns and sizes. If there are places where the size does not exceed 14 cm in others we find Wild Discus of 20 cm even some cases of 22 cm.


            Special Ica Royal with 18 cm 

Our selection is based on form. This is for us the most important. In fact the most difficult. If for a hobby a Wild Discu is often indifferent to its shape. We observed Wild Discus in many hobbyists with few round shape. 



There is no demand on the part of the exporter for the round shape as if they want the Discus in general. Because there are few Wild Discus rounds. In every 1000 fish that fishermen collect about 5% have these round shape.



There are many weeks in the middle of the Amazon jungle in different communities looking for wild discus captured day and night those that are more round. Find the best ones want time, patience and a spirit of sacrifice to sometimes live in little "comfortable" situations. The work of our fishermen turns out to be extremely hard by the hours they spend in the water during the day and often at night. Our selection depends on your collection. Usually we follow his steps during the day, in the sun with temperatures that reach 42 º with a thermal sensation of 45 º. This is the hard part of the selection. Each Wild Discu collected is observed by us and decided at the same time.



Fish that do not have the characteristics that we intend to offer our customers return to their natural habitat. Sometimes we get some pity from the fishermen who bring in hundreds of Wild Discus and who after so much work fishing them, has to be returned is nature. But this is what makes our company the one that offers the best Wild Discus in the World market. No one does this hard work of searching and searching for the best Wild´s





In the images we can see what we are looking for. Shape, color, correct ratio of fish, eye size, correct stress bars, defects, etc. All this evaluation is done in a few minutes because Wild Discus without these characteristics are returned to the place where they were captured. In another article we will talk about the sizes before each community. Here it is important to clarify how selection is done and our work in "field" 



In the video below you can see that we are not always where the Wild Discus are collected. Sometimes we work with more than one team of fishermen. They gather the Wild Discus in wooden boxes. Our job is to go through them to select the best and each team of fishermen.
