Re: Xtreme fish and pets

Are any freshwater stingrays legal in Texas?  Just wondering.

Re: Xtreme fish and pets

Yup, there are legal types.

Re: Xtreme fish and pets

I'm pretty sure that any species of freshwater stingrays are illegal.  Second species from the top.

Re: Xtreme fish and pets

The displays are great, fish are ok, but they have a good cheap tank selection. I bought a used 200 gallon with a  black stand for only $225. Their food prices are good and they are really knowledgeable.

Re: Xtreme fish and pets

I've never been so decided to to give it a shot and at the very least wanted to check out their discus. I was greeted at the door by six Asian cigarette smoking men. Reminded me of one of my dad's card game nights. People were very friendly and seemed to go out of their way to be nice and chat me up. The discus were moderately priced but of average quality but all the other fish seemed crazy cheap. Grabbed 28 fish! Mostly tetras but no discus, but the box folks gave me a bunch of good leads in that regard anyway. Their stingrays were probably legal, they didn't seem like one of the exotic Southamerican types. Kind of cluttered which made it feel like a Bellaire-area type store, but if you asked an employee, they knew where things were. I'd go back for sure.

Re: Xtreme fish and pets

I went there today and was very surprised with the excellent service I received. They are even going to try and order some fish that I want. I think you should put this store on your fish run list.

Trung is awesome! I went by today and had the same service i got the first time i went. I was very suprised with all the exotic stuff that you wouldnt expect to see at previously mentioned "bellaire-type" store.

Many large discus priced at $35.
Rummy noses were on sale for 3 for 5$.
I bought 4 baby figure 8 puffers for 1.99 each!

Trung also said there is a large order arriving Monday around 1pm.

Re: Xtreme fish and pets

this is my favorite store for customer service. Truong is one of the most helpful people i have ever dealt with at any lfs. i go to at least three fish stores a week and he is truly the only one who seems to really care about repeat customers. city pets is good for saltwater frags(cheapest ive ever seen) but the only person who really seems to care about customer service is the lady behind the counter and she does not help other than the counter. i have been going for quite a while and get treated the same every time im there, no one offers help and the only one who doesnt seem bothered by me asking questions is the ladies son(not with acne, maybe donny). fish ranch is nice but customer service is lacking. the owner seems to get easily aggravated by questions as well. global is also the closest store to me but i drive right by it to go see truong(dont like these people at all. a guy named Ron worked there and he was helpful but i have not seen him the last two times i stopped in). one thing that really bothers me about global and the other asian stores is that the employees dont have a clue about the cost of equipment or fish and spend half of their time asking someone else, i feel like if i were asian i would get quoted better prices. i always start at xtreme and go from there.
