You have some very nice fish there. The leopard is exceptionally nice. Is Cary still working with brown based reds? That was what he was breeding himself back at a NADA we both attended quite a few years ago.

Way back I had the pleasure of meeting him and my initial group of fish were from him which I had for a very long time.
I even got some beautiful offspring from pairs that developed.
Good luck with them... They look beautiful ;-)

Thank you I'm so happy with the group i recieved from him. he currently had tiger turqs leopards and had fry of heckel crosses which the heckels looked really nice too may have to pick some of those up once they grow up a little bit.

As long as I've known Cary he has had good taste. IME, he doesn't always tell the 100% truth, but he has never cheated me. If I were in the market for more Discus I would buy him if he had a website. I can't stomach Facebook.

Nice looking crew there Matt...hard to beat the source. :D

I finally got to meet Cary at the 2018 NADA show in NJ. What a knowledgeable guy he is. A common saying you hear about Cary is "Cary is the man". Cary has also been donating discus for NADA raffles which is really helpful for raising money for the next NADA show.

I had heard of/known Cary by reputation for quite a few years, and it was great to hear of his 'revival', to me anyway, as a breeder & supplier of high quality discus!

I had no idea, Pat, that he was in attendance at the 2018 New Jersey NADA show, as was I, but if I'd known he was there, for sure I've have wanted to meet him, get to know him, & have a great chat ! So sorry - maybe next time.

Haven't seen Cary for a while, but always considered him the top US discus breeder. Learned a ton of stuff from him over the years. Too bad I don't do FB.

Ya I'm lucky that i live so close to him to get quality discus from him couldn't be happier with them. He's working on alot of domestic heckel crosses now which are also stunning.

Hello,

Does anyone know how to get in touch with Cary Strong? Is he still in the business of breeding Discus. Please let me know, since I'm getting back into the hobby after 14 years.
