?Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming ?Wow! What a Ride!? ~ Hunter S. Thompson

I don't think this is an IGFA event.

I'm still trying to figure out why I am so into darn guppies when I have a plethora of others to breed.

There are very few personal problems that cannot be solved through a suitable application of high explosives.
There are only two types of people. Italians and those that wish they were

This guy has very nice ones.  I'm tempted but don't think I'll take the plunge.  http://ww.gorgeousguppies.com/my-guppy-strains.html
Always move forward. Never look back.

What comes around goes around.  It's been almost 50 years since I've kept guppies, but I've now got those Endler's I picked up at the club meeting.   ;)

Hey G8, did you start the hobby with guppies? It might have to do with your past fun times if you did. I did and in my 20's I had a breeding program of my own going on with them. Still have some males in the community tank, and a few months ago I sold off my black Moscow group. They were gorgeous.
Happy Aquariuming,

I think I started with sword tails way back then. Actually what got me into fish was an alligator snapping turtle just before my wife got married.

Her brother caught a baby snapper from the Hudson. And I bought a 10 gallon tank for it. Then started looking at the fish at the LFS in my home town. And it's snowballed from there. I had 20 tanks in a 3 room apt breeding angels and gouramis right after she got married.

Okay...so far so good. Now, what about the phrase, ''... just before my wife got married''? Married to whom?

She keeps telling me I was there. I have no recollection of it though.

When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because those weirdos are your tribe.  (Sweatpants & Coffee)
