Season 2021-2022 / Parte 1

Imagem
The last Wild season was characterized by constant rainfall throughout the Amazon. In about 2 months we had 5 days without rain. If last year the rivers dropped to a level almost never seen before, leaving areas of the Amazon impossible to navigate due to sandbanks and drought, this year the opposite happened. By the time the river started going down to levels that would allow the collection of Wild discus the rains were constant. When it rains the river, lakes and streams run off dirty water and it becomes impossible for fishermen to fish. This is in addition to the strong storms that occur during this period.                     With heavy rainstorms, thunderstorms, and constant lightning, fishing is almost impossible. We fished hundreds of miles aboard the boat Santarem Discus in Trombetas, Obidos and some other places that we considered secret.

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. There are many areas of volcanic rocks along the Amazon, a fact that has little knowledge...

The Most Rare Wild Discus

Imagem
All or almost all the collection seasons in the Amazon between late September and December we find some Wild Rare Discus. Wild Discus only ones who are coming back to the same communities can not see another !  As you can imagine the joy is great when a Wild Discu is found. I compare the moment like the Christmas Eve. When a child opens the toy he wanted so badly. The first one I highlight is really a weird Wild Discus. Stress bars never disappeared in a black tone as well as around a beautiful black outline , with a blue . Just absolute amazing and of course ...rare .  It was a Wild Discus always very shy and away from the others. We finished selling to Hong Kong to Wayne Ng  and second we went to China. Hopefully you have reproduced ... Over the weeks in quarantine began to become red. Unfortunately as soon as it reached the 3 months of quarantine it was exported We came back several times to the community that I kept secret, but we never cap...
