Re: Houston Aquarium Warehouse!

eklikewhoa  why don't you rate his fish like you do the other stores so we can have an idea what kind of shape they are in.

Sure.....

Chimba's - Very good size on them, really BRIGHT and from how they were acting towards each other I would say they are of good M:F ratio.
Chaitika's - These are THE NICEST Chaitika's I have seen in person, though I have not seen many but I have seen a few to compare. There was maybe one that was not too pretty but comparable to what I have seen before.
Ikola's/Kiriza Kaiser - These were still young but most of the yellow band has formed and looking nice! There may have been a couple that still have not formed a decent band.
Kiriza Kaiser II - IMO and I think many will agree........these were the nicest I have seen and probably the best of the order. THAT COMING FROM SOMEONE THAT REALLY DOESN'T CARE FOR THEM.
Bulu Points - I thought these were not so great looking but they have not formed their spots yet......regardless I am not a big fan of bulu's
Murago Green - I loved these! they are sold.
Golden Kazumba - Compared to my Ilangi's they were dirt looking......but I think that of all of them   they had a nice gold color to them and the size was nice! Didn't get to gawk much at them since the light went out over this tank.
Moliros - they were small so their true colors were not showing
Bembas - the color was equivalent to FIRE! very clean and bright band on these

I have to say though........ I am not a big fan of sp.Red or any black sp. other then Ikolas so pretty much all of them didn't please me any more then any other tropheus but all were super healthy and boisterous! Watched them eat their dinner and these guys ate like mine do which is really impressive seeing as though they came in but a couple days ago.

I shot over there while I was suppose to be working to check them out and was not disappointed at all. Most of the order are juvi's but for the price it's a STEAL! I know I sell small fry for about as much and I don't have to pay shipping or overhead.


Small on these were about 1.75-2" and the ones that are large are 3"+ adults!

Re: Houston Aquarium Warehouse!

We (fishlady& I) stopped in on Dan and his fishies today, and we saw these fish in person, they are impressive, and he has alot more discus too, just no more of this kind I believe.

We loved the three tiered tank in the outside lobby, and thanks for your hospitality, it was nice visiting with you again.

Re: Houston Aquarium Warehouse!

i went by a few weeks ago and got some of th dwarf puffers from him, they are still doing quite well and as he promised are eating frozen bloodworms like they are going ota style. wish i could make it back out before all of the shipment gets grabbed up.

Re: Houston Aquarium Warehouse!

Well, I finally made the journey to see Dan, with my main excuse, err, reason, being to buy some frozen bloodworms.

I did manage to remember the bloodworms  8) , but somehow or another a bunch of cardinals, altums and discus jumped in the box as well.  It's well worth the trip and time well spent.

Re: Houston Aquarium Warehouse!

Awesome !!!  are your discus going in with the others in the 110 ??

TAKE PICTURES !!!!!

[szidlon]

Re: Houston Aquarium Warehouse!

Yes, they are.  I didn't realize how big mine were till I put in the new ones and it made them look small.  I'll try to take some pics after they settle down.  The altums are racing, and I mean racing, all over their tank scavenging for bits of food, they're like a pack of little wolves  8O  .

You need to open a threat with both of tanks with pictures in them :)
I know what you had in the 110 the time I visited your house in Katy :)  I am sure that they are going to look great in there :)  That was a super nice tank for them :)

Re: Houston Aquarium Warehouse!

Re: Houston Aquarium Warehouse!

Visited with Dan on Sunday morning and took a look at the Tropheus.

Chimba - Wild Caught - really nice red dorsals, good overall color, and in the 3" - 4" size, about 12-14 pieces
Golden Kazumba - Wild Caught - good looking really nice red dorsals, 3.5" to 4.25"- about 12-14 piecs
Chaitika - Wild Caught - nice blue dorsals, good looking yellow flanks, really nice fish - 3.5" to 4.25" - maybe 8 pieces

Bemba "Orange Flame" - Some nice orange, pondraised, smalls 1-1.5" - good colony size 15-20
Bulu Point "Cherry Spots" - extreme juvinile color, pondraised extra small, 0.75"-1.25" - good colony size 15-20
Kiriza "Kaiser II" - nice color, has a bit too much orange for my tastes, but still nice, pondraised Med-Small, 1.5" to 2.25"-good colony size 15-20
Murago "Green Murago" - juvinile color, pondriased smalls 1-1.5" - only (3) left so hard to sell
Moliros - juvinile color, pondraised small-mediums 1.25" to 2", several have black blotches, look to be nice fish, larger colony 20-25 fish

The Ikola were sold and gone.

I'd say the best looking were the Chaitika or the Kaiser II's
