Hello Folks! Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Happy Hanukkah, and all that other crap too. I am going back to actual work today mostly cuz I am sick of goofing off and 4 straight days of not shipping and sorta just screwing around the house has got me right at the verge of boredom and boredom is a very dangerous thing for me. While screwing around the past few days I have had the time to contact some of my friends I have made through the years that like me, collect rare and hard to find music files that are mostly live bootleg versions of tunes illegally recorded at concerts by fans and if you have some of these type files don't be afraid of sending them to me. I might use them for some of these auctions and I might even send you one back in return for yours if I like it.Just about anything is cool, something like this ZZ Top bootleg that was recorded somewhere in Germany will do. See? I have lots of other weird hobby's I can't make any money at other than just this fish gig. Once again Happy Holidays folks and I hope all you nutcases are enjoying yourselves a little bit and letting your hair down during these holiday weeks. Try not to get arrested or kill somebody over the next week to 10 days cuz I need you folks around bidding on my auctions again this coming year. While I was down in the fish room this week taking photo's and screwing around I had the time to actually photograph and video tape a few different things going on down there that normally I would not have the time to do. I hope to actually hire at least one person soon so I have more time to run my fish room and this business like I actually think it outta be run, but it's hard finding the right person who has an imagination as warped as mine is.This auction is for a bunch of fish I was actually messing around with the past week and all this stuff will breed for you very easily now that I have them all in actual breeding mode and you can follow along below if you want to see the fish you are bidding on actually breeding here in my fish room. The first video I want you to check out is of a Male Honey Gourami, Trichogaster chuna that informed me that he had bred and had fry starting to leave the safety of the bubble nest he had built in some floating plants in his tank.I think almost all fish will let you know when they are breeding and there is something going on in their tank and their lives, if you just pay attention to them and what they are doing. These Honey gourami's are normally a VERY docile, peaceful fish, and most of you folks actually pass them up when you see them occasionally available in pet shops (they are hard to find because they don't really sell well to folks that don't know what they are really all about) because usually in a pet shops tanks the males are a dull brown just like the females BUT once you see my video below you will hopefully realize that is NOT what they will look like once you get these fish feeling comfortable at home, in a tank they can settle in to, and call home. Check this Pr. out- Now, like I was saying, in a pet shop both the males and the females will look a dull brown like the female in the photo above. That's why folks like you normally pass them up..Also, these fish are ALWAYS calm and peaceful. Now check this video out- That video shows what I witnessed in one of my tanks this week. Isn't it awesome seeing that male colored up and acting that way? He's doing that because he has fry up in the floating plants on the right side of that tank. He spawned with a female in there and I didn't know it and obviously all the rest of the fish in this tank didn't know it either because none of them got to his eggs or the wigglers when they were to young to actually swim around and they were just hanging out wiggling in the bubble nest. In this photo you can see the actual fry. You would never know you are looking at their fry but the fry are BLACK and now that you know that you will see those black specks in the plants in this photo below. Check it out- Right after I filmed that video I decided to grab a fine net and net out all the fry, floating plants, etc. and move them to a new tank so that male would stop kicking the crap out of my Endlers species # 2's and that tank would settle down again so all those fish could return to living together in harmony. Here is a short video of some of the actual free swimming fry I shot before dumping them in a fry tank I have going that also has tiny Oryzias woworae and tiny peacock gudgeons in it. By the way you are going to get a breeding Pr. of those gudgeons in this auction too. Did you notice how black they are? That's interesting the way the fry are born so black because it's highly usuasual for fry to be born a completeily differant color as the non breeding adult females. Anyway you are bidding on the Male Honey gourami you have just been checking out plus the female he spawned with AND other male I am going to send you too because I don't want or need that second male here in the fish room. I want to wrap this auction up because I have already done enough yapping in it and I want to put a few more auctions together this evening too, so you are ALSO going to receive a NICE mature Pr. of spawning Peacock gudgeons and you have a 33% chance of actually getting the male gudgeon below in that pot because I only have 3 Pr's. of those and you are getting one of them. I am also going to send you a clay pot with a hole broken in to the top of it exactly like the one you see in that photo. Check it out- Lastily, I am going to send you a trio of NICE Sunspot Platies that will look just like the fish in these photo's below, these are a NICE strain of Platy I get from "The Platy Guy" here in NY and I HIGHLY reccomend ALL his strains of livebearers. OK, now that you know what the deal is with the fish you are bidding on, it's time I let you know about the rest of the crap I will be tossing in this box.As usual I will be tossing in all the normal stuff like foods and leaves etc, etc. You will of course get some Mix #2 for these fish and I will also include some fry food. Since a new year is starting this seems like a good time to remind everyone, especially the newer folks reading this crap, that my boxes are a little differant than most sellers boxes. I tend to receive a lot of money for my fish and auctions and that enables me to add stuff to these boxes that most sellers don't just "toss in". What that means is in a box like this you will probably actually receive some live floating plants for these honey gourami's to build their bubble nest in and I will actually toss one of those clay pots in to this auction too, and if I happen to have an issue of Tropical Fish Hobbyist laying around here that has an article regarding keeping or spawning one of the types of fish in this auction it's common for me to toss something like that in your box the day I pack it too.My point here folks is you usually get your moneys worth when you win one of my auctions so if you are one of those folks that check my offerings out but don't usually bid on them you are probably missing out on some good offerings because you think these auctions sell for to much money. I do my best to make sure you end up getting your money's worth whether it's by adding a couple extra items to these auctions or even sometimes by just assisting you knuckleheads later as you try to actually raise up a batch of fry from some fish you end up aquiering from me in this auctions. Anyway, Good Luck with all my auctions this year and above all, ENJOY THE HOBBY, Folks! Folks, I don't mess around. I sell nice stuff. I start all these auctions at a dollar and I offer free shipping and an unconditional guarantee. Trust ol' Lotsoffish. I would REALLY like to ship this auction the day after it closes. Please try to contact me the night you win it to make arrangements to receive it. I ship 4 days a week. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday. I can usually ship the next available shipping day after you cough up the loot, and as always, I don't mess around. email me any questions
