Italy – Lecce, 17 April 2010

On a beautiful Saturday in this lovely old southern Italian town called Lecce, Heiko Bleher gave two lectures. The first one on how to collect 400 Green Discus and the second with details of the 9 different angelfish species and forms in South America, which he had discovered and recorded, including his most recent new species from the Apaporis. The great group of aquarists from Salentino region (photo below) had invited Heiko Bleher for the seminars, which took place during their fantastic bi-annual event of the Mediterranean Discus such as the last one where over 30,000 visited the exhibition and championships in this beautiful old Italian town… After his lectures Heiko also presented with Rosario Curcio his new magazine, the Discus Annual 2010,, which will be printed in Italian and also in an English edition – something very unique.
