Paul Gorski was my mentor and judging board chair for 26 years. His greens were from Mike Regent’s greens via Mike Lastella out of New York in the 1980s. That’s pretty much a 40-year history of the fish. </span>They will not be fully developed until 8 months old. Since most of the show season has been canceled I can sell some of these. </span></span><br />

Gorski Green Deltas 3/28/2013 - Very few people have these fish. They go all the way back to Mike Regent's original Apple Greens via Mike Lastella. Mike Lastella was 5 time winner of grand male overall. I received these from Paul Gorski in 2004. Some very original American stock.<br />

Tom Allen Greens<br />
I always get strong, large fish out of Tom Allen's stock. He has some of the oldest American genetics in the country, much of it unpolluted by crossing to foreign fish. I crossed the males he sent me to my Gorski Green females. Note the excellent body shape, depth of the body and peduncles.<br />

The IFGA Annual show is in 3 weeks. Just received a new order of Cattapa leaves to help condition the males. The botanicals that diffuse from the leaves into the water help to prevent fin splits and infections. Also helps to enrich the colors, especially greens, probably due to the tannins released into the water.guppychampionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00911467672432947889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2995072692878577390.post-12418058874708658032012-03-17T14:11:00.002-07:002016-08-13T14:41:28.438-07:00Multi-Colored StrainNew Multis: As defined by the IFGA standards, a multi-colored guppy is determined by three or more colors in the caudal fin. The least prevalent color must be at least 15% of the the caudal color by surface area. You could have four colors or five as well, as long as three of the colors each were greater than 15% of the caudal surface area. I had a very coarse patterned multi line for years, which I lost during a series of moves. In the last year I used three lines to create a new line. I used a fine a fine patterned snakeskin line and two different lines of a fish sometimes referred to a a Mosaic. This is one of the males. He took first place at the 2016 East Coast Guppy Assoc. show in the Multi class.<br />

Multis – I purchased these from an auction at a <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">New York</st1:place></st1:state> show in
1993. They threw large fish with a very
bold course pattern. These have always
been on of the hardiest and most fertile guppies in my fish room. Presumably this is due to the diverse
genetics required to produce the many colors and patterns in these fish. Many of the males have body color markings
that resemble those of wild-type guppies.
In 1999, the line produced a sport, a male with a very fine and distinct
pattern. I was able to capture that
pattern and now carry the two lines of this strain, the coarse, bold pattern
and fine variegated pattern. Some
females will produce both color types in the same drop of fry. By line breeding the two strains, I am able
to maintain and improve both lines. The
only outcross I have made with this line since 1993 was in 1997, I crossed them
once to the gold MGO reds to increase the amount of red in them. Red is still the least predominate color in
these fish. The females come in two
colors, brightly colored caudals with streaks opf green, white, and red, and
clear colored caudals. Recently, I have broken out a red bicolor and purple
bicolor line from these fish. Their
genetic diversity and plasticity never cease to amaze me. These are one of my
favorite lines of fish due to their variation in colors, hardiness and
fecundity.</div>

<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">I have been breeding and raising guppies almost continuously since I was twelve years old. Along the way I have developed an array of equipment and supplies that are both economical and highly functional. In this string I will share some of the things I use in my fish room that have served me well over the years.</span>
</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the past couple of years I have been feeding live California Blackworms. Years ago these were raised in the effluent from duck farms and worse and carried a plethora of diseases. Now they are raised independently in a clean farm environment and fed a high protein diet. I feed about one pound per week and have not had any problems associated with the worms.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Black worm facts: 140,000 lbs are sold in the US each year. Who is buying all those worms? </div>

California Blackworms sells these handy trays that separate the worms from the water. The worms are immersed in about 1/2 inch of water in the top compartment and most of the water is in the lower compartment. Care consists of rinsing the upper compartment and emptying and refilling the lower compartment each day. By doing this religiously, the worms will last over three weeks if properly refrigerated.</div>

Young fish show remarkable growth when fed blackworms. The high protein content promotes body size growth. Many say they are too large for young guppies, but they delight in battling to ingest them. My young fish will begin to eat them as early as three weeks. They promote egg production and fertility in females as well.</div>

I primarily breed fancy show quality guppies (although I have a number of other aquatic interests as well). After a rather tumultuous period in my life, in April of 2011, I purchased a new home with one-half acre of flat land. I had always wanted a detached fish room or fish house as it is called around the stead. So goes the chronicle of that journey. I decided to build two rooms of 120 sq. ft each to avoid having to file plans and get permits from the city. My father builds portable barns for horses out of glavanized metal frames, and had the first fish room ready within a week of my request. Here is one of my Dad's full sized barns. Pretty cool, huh? (click on the pictures to get a larger version)<br />

The brush has been cleared and the forms for both rooms are being built. After this photo was taken, 12g welded wire was put in the forms to prevent cracking of the slab. You can see the floor drains in place. I put them in the night before in the dark. The slabs were poured the very next day and the first building went up 48 hours after that, in June 2011. I built two rooms 10' by 12' because the city does not require permits on buildings 120 sq. ft. or less. Permits and plans would have driven the costs up to the moon.</div>
