Description

$1.00 Holiday Special-IFGA CHAMPIONSHIP WINNING H/B BLUES






Hello, and happy holidays! Thank you for considering purchasing some of my world class guppies. To give back to the Aquabid community who has been so good to me over the years I'll be running some $1.00 auctions this week. These auction will run between now and this coming Friday. All the fish I have available at this reduced giveback price will be posted and you must bid to win. Additional fish can be purchased of the stain strain (if available) and you can do so by bidding on them through my other posted auctions. Combining shipping is available and I ask that you read my shipping section below for more information on that. With all the fine print out of the way let's get down to what you clicked on this auction for. This auction is for two pair of my IFGA Class Championship winning Halfblack Blues. The pairs will be about 7 1/2 months of age at the time of shipping. The females have been in the males for quite some time so they are likely hit. I won the IFGA Halfblack Blue Class Championship both years that I tried to win it, which was in 2012 & 2014.These are truly the nicest Halfblack Blues in the world. There is no other line out there that is capable of consistently producing show winners like mine generation after generation. My line has extremely great shape, color that just screams blue and will blow your mind, and to top it all off they get pretty darn big. If you have been looking to add a line of H/B Blues to your guppy collection you would not be disappointed by getting yourself these. The pictures are of the great grandfather to the fish you will receive. 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 $43.00. You can combine multiple auctions to save on shipping. The cost of shipping will go up by $5.00 for every added trio. Regular Priority mail is not available this time of year sue to the cold weather.�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.�


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.�

DON'T 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?
