JE: What strains are you the most happy with? Which do you think need some work? Are you working on anything new and exciting now? What strain/s do you like best, personally?

RK: We are happy with most of the strains we have e.g Blue Diamonds, Soild Yellows, Golden and Melons. But I think more work needs to be done to improve the shape of our Red Spotted Greens and the consistency of spots on the Leopard Snakes. Currently, we are working to stabalize the spots and eye color on the white leopards that we have. We are also constantly trying to improve on our current stock in terms of body shape. To us the body shape of the fish is of utmost importance, color is secondary. There are no preference in the particular fish I like, to me every fish is nice as they have their own beauty and character.

JE: Any tips on breeding or raising discus?

RK: Always breed healthy fishes. Regular feedings and water changes are the key to success for raising young fishes. Adults are fed about 2 times a day and young fish (anything between 1" - 4") are fed about 4-5 times a day.


JE: What do you feed your discus? You must go through a ton of fish food!



RK: We feed the fishes oxheart, bloodworms and brine shrimp. The bulk of the food we use is oxheart and the fishes chow down about 50 kg or more per month easily.


JE: What is your most exhilarating moment with discus?

RK: Whenever there is a new brood of fry on the way. Watching the parents care for their young is simply wonderful.


JE: What is your most frustrating moment with discus?

RK: The most frustrating moment is to see a pair do their dance rituals before spawning and when the female starts to lay her eggs the male is by her side doing nothing and acting dumb.
