All About Heckel Nhamunda

Imagem
Nhamunda Land of Heckel  They are among the most beautiful Wild Discus of Amazonia. Its electric blue that can be seen with a good light in an Aquarium is sometimes "dazzling". Wild Discus are more difficult to maintain because of their usual stress.  Living at the crossroads of the branches at the top Nhamunda about 4 hours Nhamunda city boat is the most beautiful places and still wild in the Amazon. Bathed by the Nhamunda River of clear waters with Ph's of 5.8 to 6.0 and with 10 to 15 microsiemans.

Those who have come to the Amazon with us have managed to recreate them.  They succeeded because they also plunged into different communities and were able to observe the reality of the places where the Wild Discus remain. I am often asked what plants exist. In fact, there are almost no plants in the environments where the Wild Discus live and hide from predators. More trunks, twigs, sticks, dry leaves superimposed on a light brownish fine sand the environment in which the wild discus remain and live.  The images I put give to understand how the bottom of the Rivers. Trunks and bad fallen on sand. Sometimes and against what many "experts" say there are places with rocks where the Wild Discus hide and live to reproduce.
