JE: Do you have any future discus plans that you would like to share with us?

RK: To consistantly breed nice healthy fishes and hopefully create a new strain of discus.


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

RK: My parents are in full support and love the fishes. Both of them help me out when i'm out on overseas trips. My girlfriend is very supportive of me keeping discus and ocassionally accompanies me to the hatchery. All I need to do now is to get her help do some water changes and talk discus to me one day. Wish me luck.


JE: Do you have any funny, amusing or interesting discus stories to share with us?

RK: Never give up on a pair of discus, patience pays off in the end. I had a pair of yearling blue cobolts many years back. The pair had spawned about 8 times before they produced 20 fry. It was frustrating to see all the eggs turn white but when they had those 20 frys I treated them like gold.

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?

RK: My parents Tommy and Lillian for always being so supportive in my hobby. The countless books I read were my mentors, the rest were hands on experience.


JE: What do you see as the future of discuskeeping? More/less people? Any cool ideas for strains?

RK: I believe there would be more people taking up discus keeping as a hobby. Caring for discus is not as hard as what most would say. With the internet providing a wealth of information including all the helpful people on the various discus forums, discus keeping can be easy. I would think a Yellow Leopard Snake would be something nice that I would like to develop.


JE: Can you think of anything I left out you would like to bring up - either personally or discus related?

RK: My partner Eric for being as crazy as me to start this hatchery. Kelvin my childhood buddy for being there for me through thick and thin.


Thank you Roy for taking the time to answer my questions and give us your thoughts on discus keeping!
