Description

CORYOLOGIST'S PINGU GUPPIES! RARE! ENTIRE BREEDING COLONY!

Hello Aquabid:

I have been absent from Aquabid for the past few months as I have been busy pondering my family's potential plans to relocate. Unfortunately, I acquired a large number of fish several months before my wife and I were offered our dream jobs in Corvallis, Oregon. After thinking through several scenarios involving carting hundreds of fish from one side of the country to the other (See below map and imagine driving a moving truck full of fish...Yikes!), I have decided that I have to get rid of my fish. I managed to find an Aber (Orhunterfisher) who could receive many of my inverts in OR and hold them for me until I arrive. As far as my fish are concerned, my loss is your gain!


It Will Be An Epic Journey
This auction is for 5 adult pairs of a really unique and rare guppy strain that I recently got from Frank Falcone (Coryologist). P.S. As you can see, Frank's a black belt in jujitsu and his hands are registered deadly weapons. Keep that in mind that if you try to get him to sell you any of these outside of auction. NO FISH FOR YOU!

The Guppyman:

NO FISH FOR YOU!

Up for bidding are the following awesome pieces of livestock:

• 5 adult pairs of Pingu Guppies
• Assorted fry and juvies---whatever is left in the tank!

All kidding aside, Frank Falcone (Coryologist) has been an influential force in the hobby for the last 40 years. He was the founder and former owner of guppies.com and has imported and bred the finest livebearers in the world for longer than most in the hobby can remember.

This rare strain of Pingu guppies is my favorite guppy of the lines that I have gotten from Frank. Frank says that he originally got this line from Japan, but has been working with this strain for a while to improve tail size and length as well as coloration. They are sweet fish, as you can see in Frank's photo. For those of you that don't know the original story of the Pingu guppy that went for $200 per pair back in the 70s, check out the below link:
