Greetings from JohnnyAMH from Virginia!!!

Hi All,
I am always happy to meet fellow ornamental fish enthusiast. I have been in the hobby 50+ years and still have a lot of passion for it. I have found Bristlenose Plecos to be the best Pleco for my tanks. I breed Angelfish, Guppies and would like to breed Bristlenose Plecos again. I’m here to hangout, make friends and learn. I also like to share…

Hi and welcome to Bristlenoseworld



Bristlenoses

Hi from a fellow Angel, Guppy, and Bristlenose breeder.

You have exquisite taste in fish, what type of Angels and Guppies do you breed?

Sarah

Welcome to the forums mate!

Hi Sarah!
I have 5 tanks and have had them running about 20 years at my present home.

Bristlenose Plecos
2 L144
2 Albino
2 Chocolate ?

Angelfish
3 Black Lace
2 Gold Marble Ghost
2 Koi (almost all orange coverage)
1 Koi (generic)
1 Dark Marble
1 Zebra
1 Silver (stripes)

Guppies
100+ Half Black Red Delta Tail and Dorsal Fins (This line is at least 15 years old and selectively bred to present appearance)

Hi JohnnyAMH,

Would love to see angel and guppie pictures! Where are your high coverage Koi from? (My original breeders were from AngelsPlus)

I'm only recently into Purple Moscows guppies, with breeding stock from ATFG and Jeff Hiller.

I'll post some guppy pics in the fresh photos category, already a couple picks of some of my Koi Angels there if you want to take a look.

That's a lot of fish to maintain in only 5 tanks, you must have your skills well honed!

Thanks for responding, good to have you,
Sarah

I would love to see some pictures as well. It's always great to see the amazing result from the hard work of selective breeding, especially over such a long period of time!

Hello Johnny,

Nice to have you along, mate.

Welcome, you have come to the right place! The people here are just about the nicest you could find.

Hi Sarah,
My pictures never seem to come out good. I have given up on taking them.

I got my high coverage Koi from a LPS here in town. They got them from a local breeder. I suspect they may be from Steve's lines but I can't be sure.

Thanks for the compliment. I owe a lot of my success and enjoyment to experience, online research and good folk like you.

Johnny
