In August of 2002, I planned a trip to
visit Great Lakes Discus, since I was up in
Michigan to visit my parents - they live
about an hour from Cary. I had emailed
Cary a few times and even referred some
people to him, so it was nice to finally
stop by, meet him, and see his fish. Even
though I didn't buy any fish from him
- my quarantine tank had some bacterial
problems at the time, Cary and his
family were really nice, especially Jack
who just HAD to show me his room!.
Cary was nice enough to identify his fish
for me (I did take a few more photos,
but the fish were 'looking away', etc..
and not behaving for the camera!).
(click
on the small photos below for an enlarged view - note that the enlarged
view
will
be in a new window; close the new window first before proceeding to the
next
small
photo, or else the new window will be hidden from view.)

My dad took this photo of myself
and a
tired Cary Strong. Cary did all the plumbing
himself for his hatchery. The fish
on the right is his blue fine line snakeskin. This fish
was crossed from fish sourced by Connie
and Johnathan Teh in Penang, Malaysia
(Waterlife Aquatics) and Samson Chung
(www.universaldiscus.com).

These are melons x red doll cross from
Chai Koon Seng of Singapore
(www.chaidiscus.com.sg) and Kitti
Phanaitthi
stock. Cary told me these were an
"accidental" spawning.
(guess that happens in the fish world
too?).
