JE: What do you see as the future of discuskeeping? More/less people? Any cool ideas for strains? Francisco: I see a lot of progress in keeping and breeding wild discus, and in using wild discus to reinforce established strains and developing new ones. I hope to see much more F1s of fully blooded wild varieties, and creative use of same in F2s and hybrids. It is refreshing to see young people, such as Tyler, be so tremendously enthusiastic about fish and discus, and being successful at an early age. Judging from my local aquarium society (Bostons) this is unfortunately an exception rather than a trend. I hope to be proved wrong. Jack: I would like to see more quality fish in the LFS. We do that and we will see more people get into Discus. I will let the experts work on the new strains. Tyler: I really dont see the hobby going anywhere but up. Especially with the old myths being laid to rest by all the successful discus keepers. These websites alone have done a ton for the hobby here in the U.S., and hopefully we can continue to help the hobby grow. As for ideas for new strains......I'll leave that up to the real breeders! JE: Can you think of anything I left out you would like to bring up - either personally or discus related? Francisco: Only that I am very appreciative of the wonderful effect the administration, moderation and in general the two main North American discus forums are having on the hobby of discus keeping, both in the US and globally. I am very lucky to be a participant. I believe that friendly competition (perhaps better, complementation) is so much better than the bickering and nastiness that plagued the scene just a couple of years ago. In other words, great job guys, keep it up, and my sincere thanks. Jack: The last thing I would like to say is this. Does everyone have a game plan for themselves. What is your plan? To what lengths are you willing to go if you have a problem like I did. Are you capable or even willing to spend money to have a fish tested?? Do you a close friend to rely on?? Is the advice you are giving about disease correct?? If you are not qualified to answer,dont !! Heat and salt didn't work for me this time,all it did was accelerate my losses. It is sound advice at times, just not everytime!! I have hit bottom and hated it there!!! I said I would never quit and I won't !!! I will just work more and get back to where I was. I am honored to have been able to share this experience. There are so many others that deserve this spotlight !!!!!! But if you ever get down in the dumps and feel like quitting, give me a call. I have been though it, I can help you out too !!!!!!!!! Thank you John and Simply for letting me share !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tyler: I just want to say how big a part of my life these fish have become. I spend so much time feeding them, watching them, and changeing their water its gets crazy. And when I'm not doing that, I'm on these forums! They definitely keep me busy and happy. Thanks for interviewing me John, and I just want to tell all the Admins and Mods here at SimplyDiscus what a great site you have created. Keep it up! |
