JE: I'll have to keep Roy in mind for a future interview! What do you see as the future of discuskeeping? More/less people? Any cool ideas for strains?

L: The hobby will continue to prosper with many new strains coming up and new hobbyists being introduce to the hobby. If you and I do our part to promote the hobby and to educate people more about the fish, I am sure this hobby will last a very long time. We know discus is not called King of Freshwater for nothing. If we continue to breed discus the right way - not selling culls, not feeding hormones, not breeding discus without tails and worse, I am sure discus would outlast any tropical fish anytime.

Many people have this misconception about Asia discus breeders being unscruplous and sending crap to North America, but I can tell you its just a few black sheep that are doing the wrong things. Most Asian breeders still work towards quality rather than quantity. I sincerely hope to see more Asian breeders playing their part and change this misconception very soon.


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

L: I have to say that ever since I have been in this hobby I have met many nice people around the world and Simplydiscus is one of the forums that I would love to have stay around for a long time. I have to thank Al introducing this forum to me when it first started and props to the mods team for doing such a good job maintaning the forum. It's this forum that brought me closer to these wonderful people like Karen, April, Pamela, Julz, Jason, Don, Tony, Jack, Carol, Cary, Mike, Ari, Scott, Rod, Dave, David and everyone else who I have not had much of a chance to talk to in another forum. I hope this forum will stay around for a long time.


And thank you for your time, John.


JE: Thank you, Louis, for an interesting and informative look at you and your fish!
