Description

IFGA CLASS CHAMPION FULL GREENS ONE HUGE GROUP!






Up for bids is 4 pair�of my four time IFGA Class Championship winning Full Greens. The fish will be about 2 1/2 months�of age at the time of shipping. The females have been separated from the males�to ensure that the super top notch males that will be sent as part of this trio are the fathers to the fry these�produce. With virgin females you simply don't have to worry if an inferior male 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.�This is a line that I�ve had around for several years and have been able to make the expert crosses needed so it can produce show winner generation after generation (for more information on this read the large but incredibly helpful paragraph further down in this listing). I show fish from this line all the time and it has�helped me win several year-end and Best of Show placements in the IFGA and at guppy competitions worldwide. My higher placements with this line is winning the Green Class Championship four times.�The pictures are of a 10 month old male and five month old males from the past and are�examples of the quality of males this line consistently produces.�This line produces males with excellent color, great size, and overall good shape which gives them the complete package. Thanks Tim Mousseau


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 $53.00 or regular Priority mail for $16.00. 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 you could add up to two more trios to the box for only $5.00 more. 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 requirement, that is welcome, but that needs to be made known so that way I can make sure somebody is available to sign for the payment.�

DONT BE FOOLED BY GUPPY SELLERS!

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?
