HOW I BECAME A FISH BREEDER!!!!!!!!!!!!
46 YEAR FISH BREEDER!!!!
WELCOME TO MY JUST ME PAGE!!THIS IS JUST SOME OF MY QUALITYS &EXPERIENCES OUT OF 500 OF THE SPECIECS THAT I HAVE BRED AND SPAWNED AND RAISED.
THIS IS HOW IT ALL GOT STARTED
HI TO ALL. I WAS BORN IN NEW JERSEY IN 1950. MY PARENTS MOVED TO FORT LAUDERDALE FLORIDA IN 1958. THEY BUILT A NEW HOME, AND MY DAD, GOD REST HIS SOUL, KNEW I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A POOL OR LIVE ON A CANAL. BECAUSE OF THAT THE HOME HE BUILT WAS ON THE WATER WAY AND AS I LOVED TO FISH I GOT WHAT I WANTED. WHEN I WAS AT THE CANAL FISHING ONE DAY I CAUGHT A PORTFISH, SOME OF YOU MAY KNOW WHAT THAT IS. I PUT IN ANOTHER LINE, AND I CAUGHT ANOTHER ONE. I PUT THEM IN A 20 GAL. TANK AND ONE WEEK LATER THEY SPAWNED. THIS IS HOW I GOT INTERESTED IN FISH. WE WENT TO A PET STORE AND I GOT A FEW MORE 10 GAL. TANKS TO RAISE THE YOUNG IN. A FEW YEARS LATER WHILE AT THAT STORE I MET JACK WATTLEY. AFTER TALIKING TO HIM HE SAID HE WOULD SHOW ME SOME OF HIS TURQUOISE DISCUS. THIS IS WHERE IT ALL BEGAN FOR ME. I WENT TO HIS HOUSE AND GOT 10 PEA SIZED DISCUS, AND AT THAT TIME THEY WERE $10.00 EACH. ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS WAS A LOT OF MONEY BACK THEN SO I WORKED VERY HARD TO EARN THE MONEY TO PAY FOR THEM AND TOOK VERY GOOD CARE OF THEM. THANK YOU JACK. I THEN GOT INTO AN AQUARIUM CLUB AND I MET SOME GREAT PEOPLE, DR. WILLIAM T. INNES, DR. HERBERT R. AXELROD, AND SOME OTHER GREAT FISH BREEDERS, FAR TO MANY TO MENTION. I AM NOW 54 YEARS OLD AND HAVE HAD THE PLEASURE OF BREEDING OVER 500 SPECIES OF FISH, INCLUDING THE ALTUM ANGEL. I NOW HAVE 200 TANKS IN ALL. I GOT MARRIED IN 2002 TO A GREAT COUNTRY GAL, WHO KNEW NOTHING ABOUT FISH AND NOW SHE KNOWS MORE THAN I DO! SHE HELPS ME IN MANY WAYS AND IS NOW SPAWNING AND RAISING ALL TYPES OF BETTAS HERSELF. WITHOUT HER OUR BREEDING PROGRAM WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE. WE ARE NOW BREEDING A FEW NEW STRAINS OF ANGELFISH THAT WE HAVE NOT HAD TO OFFER BEFORE, LIKE ALBINOS, THANKS TO OUR FRIEND, BREEDER, AND GENETICS PRO. IN WEST VIRGINIA. WE WILL BE OFFERING THOSES STRAINS SOON. WE HOPE TO PUT TOGETHER AN ARTICLE TO SUMIT TO AN AQUARIUM MAGAZINE SOON AND I WILL POST A NOTICE ON A. B. WHEN IT IS FINISHED AND IF WE ARE SUCCESSFUL. THANKS TO ALL OF YOU FOR LOOKING AT MY J. P. PAGE. JOE & JANET AND OUR GOOD FRIEND AND FELLOW BREEDER THAT I CALL MR. GENETICS, JAMES.
