First, thank you for coming to my website.

Since 1970, I have been raising Fancy Show Guppies for pleasure and show. I won numerous awards over the years showing Fancy Show Guppies.

In my latter years of breeding Fancy Show Guppies, I decided to break out of the mold typical for breeders in the International Fancy Guppy Association show circuit. This awakening came after winning a class championship in the early 1990's.

I came to realize many of your best breeders do not show their guppies. I was fortunate to know such an individual his name was Al Prall. As a mentor he shared many of his experiences with me. His guppy breeding took him back to the times of Paul Hahnel and many other old masters.

He was always toying with different crosses. What amazed me were the melting pots of guppies that would take a life of their own, many breeders would have called those guppies junk. Every time I asked what he was doing with those tanks of junk guppies he never had an answer other than let us see what hidden treasures those guppies reveal. He never learned from a book but learned from doing, this was one of those learning experiences.

When the moment took him, he could produce a Fancy Show Guppy that would win and to this day, those who knew him still talk about those guppies he showed.

I decided to pickup where he left off, there is more to raising a guppy other than for show. The little creatures hold many surprises much like a diamond in the rough. Just when you think they have revealed all their secrets, the guppy surprises you.

Looking at the International Fancy Guppy Association judging manual I noticed many times how color in the body of a Fancy Show Guppy is desirable. If you look at your standard, IFGA Fancy Show Guppy the body lacks color. Since minor points are assigned for body color, breeders are not motivated to dedicate their breeding efforts towards these goals.

A Paradigm shift in body color was long overdue, a path much like the black molly needed to happen.

My favorite color in guppies has always been red so I dedicated over 100 tanks to an all red guppy. I recall discussions with a senior judge about how red guppies have a tendency to turn orange. His response was that it has been scientifically determined it takes several genes to produce the color red and missing the proper combination will give you orange guppies. With this seed and goal, I began my search for all the different gene combinations that would give me the ultimate red color and body color coverage.

Some years into my search for the all red guppy I had the opportunity to attend the First World Guppy Show in Osaka Japan. In Japan, I saw for the first time FullGold Fancy Show Guppies, at that moment I knew I was on the right path.

With the help of many individuals, the making of the FULLREDGUPPY materialized.

Since the introduction of the FULLREDGUPPY I never imagined how much positive feedback I would received from all over the world, THANKS. Check out below a small sample of all the places visitors to my website come from leaving messages in my guestbook.
