Without further delay, here's our June interview with Rod Lewis! Rod, thank you for all the great pics and your time!










JE: Please tell us all a little about yourself. Single, married, attached? Other hobbies? Any significant non-discus achievements you want to brag about?

RL: Hi, my name is Rodney lewis, I'm married to Sue, my wife of 15 years and we have 2 children. Sarah is 14 and John is 11.


JE: How did you get into discus? Where was the first discus you saw? How long had you been into fish first?

RL: I was looking for a new challenge with tropical fish and one time when I was at the lps I saw some small cobalts that I really liked, so I ended up buying them.


Many years before around 1980 a lps used to have small brown discus in the shop on a regular basis, although it wasn't until a few years later, in about 1984, when I saw the first really good discus, a new lps had started in the area and in one of the display tanks there was a gorgeous group of German turquoise discus. I think it was this experience that really caught my interest and eventually I knew I would try some. My science teacher at school had given me an old putty tank in 1978. I haven't been without fish ever since.
