A picture of Tyler's setup:



JE: How do those in your life feel about discus?

Francisco: Melinda has been very supportive, but doesn’t really share the enthusiasm for fish. I guess she is happy that I am happy and I love her for that. Sometimes commitment to water changes has affected other plans and she doesnt like that. But she likes to meet my discus friends and has been a great sport. Maya wants a tank in her room…My mom has always been happy that I followed in her footsteps. The only one out of 6 children.

Jack: My wife hated my fish. They cost lots of money with electricity and food. Slowly over the last few years she has started to come around. Two things brought her into the fold. The fry on the parents sides and she loves making Betta vases. Now she is doing WCs when I am away and loves the fish !!! I truly am blessed to have a great partner !!!!!!!!!!!!

Tyler: My family has been VERY supportive about this entire hobby for me. Mom loves the fish, and Dad is always there to help with the building of things. Other people sometimes think I'm crazy.......but at least those in my own household don't complain! And many people here can attest to how my mom has driven me from here (NJ) all the way to NYC and CT for discus gatherings.


JE: In your time with discus, what do you feel you have enjoyed the most?

Francisco: Admiring them. Watching them become fuller and more colorful. Seeing ugly holes in the head become faint scars.

Jack: The thing I enjoy most is travelling to see new discus friends. I have put lots of miles to pick up fish. Visits to Great Lakes, A Discus Dream, Blue Moon Discus, Rare Breed and lots of individuals. I have met Jack Wattley and had a chance to spend a few minutes talking to him. I am leaving tonight for a trip to Louisiana but will stop by and see John Nicholson and Beth Adams. Every business trip or vacation has fish stops involved.

Tyler: The thing I have enjoyed most about this hobby really hasn't even been the fish.....but the people I have met while dealing with them. I have made so many friends online with this common interest, and have even begun to meet a number of them in person. Just take Al and Joe for an example. Al let about 20 of us discus nuts in his own house, to go crazy in the fishroom. And Joe, the first time I met him, gave me a beautiful leopard ss that he brought for me. Plus, I got to meet Cary! lol. I must say, discus people really are the best!
