Hudson, owner of HEKDISCUS http://www.hek.com.br/ , is a very good friend who has made a field trip to the location where Heiko discovered the first Heckel Discus Symphysodon discus in the 1990s, the Rio Nhamundá, and also to the Lago Nhamundá, where Blue and Brown Discus (S. haraldi) live. Heiko went several times with Manuel Torres (see Bleher’s Discus, Vol. I ) collecting and introduced the first Discus form the area into the hobby. There are some very nice variants of S. haraldi in the lake and some populations live near rocky (lava-stone) habitat, which is rare for Discus in Amazonia. Manuel had later started to collect selective the beauties in the night and today his son follows his father’s footsteps. Hudson went and filmed this selective collecting at night for the first time and here it is…
…and here Hudson made some underwater film during daylight of Heckel Discus group in the Rio Nhamundá.
