KNOCKOUT IFGA GREEN LACE SNAKES! DON"T BE FOOLED BY GUPPY SELLERS!

Hello fellow fish enthusiast, thanks for viewing my auction. This auction is for something very special. That something is one male and three females of my Green Lace Variegated Snakeskins. I was recognized around the world as being the very best breeder of Lace Snakeskins for several years before I stopped breeding them three years ago. I was able to consistently produce Lace Snakeskins that where 1 to 1 in body to caudal ratio, which is something that was previously unheard of. I won the class about 8 times in a row before getting out of Snakeskins in order to free up tank space for other strains. My true love in the guppy hobby has always been the Green Lace Snakeskins. I decided to bring some back into my fish room late last summer after being bothered by the overall poor quality of fish being shown in the class. I now have several different lines going from several sources and the particular line for sale in this auction appear like they may relate back to one of my original lines. There are showing many of the strong characteristics mine had with the continues unbroken chain linked pattern, the great shape and large caudal's. If you've been looking to work on some Green Lace Snakeskins or have been working on some this is one line that I wouldn't be caught without. The particular fish for sale in the auction are 4 months of age. �The females have been separated from the males�to ensure that the super top notch male that will be sent as part of this trio�is the father to the fry these should produce. With virgin females you simply don't have to worry that an inferior male may have hit the females�that you've spent your hard earned money on.�The majority of quality breeders keep the majority of their females virgin because of this.�The first picture is of an adult male from my old line of Green Lace Snakeskins that was 11�months of age. The second picture is a male at �9 months of age. The current fish and line that I have for sale is likly the same line as the one in the picture.

All fish are shipped in a Styrofoam box with a heat pack, which is already included in the cost of shipping listed below. I will ship them USPS Express Mail for $43.00 or regular Priority mail for $20.00. You can combine multiple auctions to save on shipping. The cost of shipping will go up by $5.00 for every added trio with Express mail. If you chose the regular Priority mail option the shipping is only $20.00 for up to two trio and then the shipping goes up by $5.00 for anything over two trios. If you are in Hawaii an import permit is required and is to be obtained before you bid on my auctions. USPS Express includes my Alive Arrival Guarantee, but regular Priority mail does not.�

Payment is expected to be postmarked within 3 days from when the auction closes period.�If you can't send out your payment within three days please don't bid. I DON'T ACCEPT PAYPAL because I don't agree with their policies. If more people would actually read their user agreements they wouldn't use them either. The winner of this auction agrees to send a payment in the form of a money order, or cashier�s check. You can get a money order or cashier�s check at a post office, most drug stores, most grocery stores etc. If the buyer wishes to send their payment with a signature requirment, that is welcome, but that needs to be made known so that way I can make sure sombody is avalible to sighn for the payment.�

Every time I read a new auction from one of the guppy "sellers" on this great site, I am amused with all their claims. You name it and it has probably been said by somebody trying to sell their guppies. People often claim to have the best of something, or do�something�better than�somebody�else when selling something,�but�they have nothing to prove it. My father and I have proven the quality of our guppies year after year on the IFGA show bench and at guppy contests around the world. Not only have we done well with our stock, but countless people have went on to do well at shows with lines that we've sold them.�Because�of this we get�many repeat customers and many people who won't go to anybody else but us for their guppies. My father and I have been mentioned and featured in countless hobbyist publications such as�Tropical Fish Hobbyist and Amazonas Magazine. The most recent was last fall in�Amazons�magazine after doing extremely well in at the World Guppy�Contest. We have also given countless guppy speeches around the country and on the radio. Several times a month, we get speech requests.� We are two of the thirteen breeders who have been awarded the status of "Master Breeder" in the IFGA since its existence in the 1960s. All this�recognition has been a very humbling�experience, but very fulfilling as well.� You see, all this�recognition along with our countless awards back up our fish and everything that we say about them. This is something that most�of the people who are�out just to sell guppies can't do.

Many� guppy "sellers" go out and buy guppies from one of the very few true guppy breeders, let them do what they do naturally and sell the offspring for many generations. Top guppy breeders like my father or I do much more than let guppies breed and sell the offspring. We are constantly making expert crosses that are needed to keep our world famous guppies to the highest quality possible. Fancy show guppies naturally degrade in quality as they are always trying to revert back to their wild state every generation. Guppies degrade in terms of shape, size, color and fertility, and in many cases there is a series of crosses that need to be made to fix the problems that occur over time. Sometimes it takes an expert eye to spot a problem and if a problem is allowed to breed into a line just one generation, it could take an expert breeder two or three generations making the perfect expert crosses to fix it. Many of these crosses are only known to expert breeders. The�knowledge�of expert crosses are gained from�years of experience specializing in show guppies to fix these problems. These perfect crosses are on a situation by situation basis that only a select handful of breeders know how to make. With all this new�information�you have to�ask yourself the most important questions of acquiring guppy stock. Do you want to take your chances and buy stock from somebody who hasn't proven themselves in multiple ways as being an expert�world�class breeder? Do you want to run the�risk of trying to fix problems that the lines have obtained while in the hands of a 2nd hand guppy seller? I know I would want to make sure I was�obtaining�the best stock possible from a�world�class�breeder, what about you?
