Heiko Bleher was able to find two of those tribes plus 400 Discus. He shows on film their habitat and how he collected them including 84 other species living sympatric.

Since Bleher’s Discus volume 1 came out in 2005 (German edition), there have been more scientific publication printed than in all the 165 years since the first description of Symphysodon discus Heckel 1840. Some of confusion with names which appeared in those few years will be presented including the latest (January 2012) up-to-date development in their taxonomy. Heiko Bleher will also give an update also on the new findings to clarify the distribution of the species of Symphysodon as of 2012.
