JE: Do you have any thanks or credit to give for your success with discus? Any mentors or colleagues who you think deserve some kudos? JN: Yes, a lot of people who unfortunately have moved on, or are in a better place. All my friends on the internet April, Al, Ryan, Jeff, Sly, Roy, Jack, Tyler, I gotta stop because I dont want to leave out anybody, you know who you guys are and how much you mean to me. Cary Strong and Rod Lewis, until I met these two guys I'd though I'd have to wait till I retired like Frank to do anything about "my crazy idea." JE: What do you see as the future of discuskeeping? More/less people? Any cool ideas for strains? JN: Honestly I don't see the hobby getting any bigger people wise, its still just gonna be a hard-core sect of the aquarium hobby. Fortunately with the internet and places like simply, its alot easier for us to find each other and share and network. I'd like to see wilds a little more standardized in tank generations, like the alenquer and royal blue, even an f4 is still pretty close to what it originaly looked liked. Strains will come and go some will stay, some are dead ends, history repeats itself. What's old now , will be new again. Then if someone can fix the heckel bar that could be big for a while, I hope nobody does. The quality in North America has to get better though. We are way too far behind Europe, that has to start with everybody here from the importer/sellers to the breeders to the hobby-breeders to the average consumer, there's no excuse anymore. Let's get with it. JE: Can you think of anything I left out you would like to bring up - either personally or discus related? JN: Hehe! Sorry about the pics guys. I'm working on it, before I sat down to type this I took a pic of a valve on my desk here for Daninthesand, and even that sucked! |
