My Ikolas will whoop your Ikolas too..

Both Extreme and Fishland give awesome deals with Cash in hand.

Truong sexing fish?

hmm....

You all need to stop hating on the guy.

[eklikewhoa]

Re: Who Bought The Ikolas'?

Not hating jeebus.... just odd that he's sexing them for you with my experience with the sexing thing when I bought my ilangis from him.

Truong is a cool guy and have dealt with him long before a lot of people here even knew what tropheus was, including him.

I just call it how I see it.

I don't have a problem with him either. But if he is telling you that he is venting the tropheus than he is making that up. It's like flipping a coin for him.

I'm just glad he stop feeding them bloodworms.

I have said multiple times and will say it again: Truong has never sexed, nor offered to sex Tropheus for me. I sexed them myself - each time.

What I MEANT to say on page 1 of this thread was that Truong was nice enough to allow me to do so, and buy the ratio I want, each time I visited and made any purchases.

Re: Who Bought The Ikolas'?

Truong's a good guy and you pull the cash out and the number on the tank is history.  The guy comes up with some of the rarest stuff in Houston--giant datnoid on hand and 10-12 paretroplus from Madagascar that I last saw at Fish Ranch ten years ago.  Bought a ton of big fish there since he's been open.

What do you think of those big Ikola's over there right now--solid or shakey?

Thanks.

I've got eight and they're doing well. Are there any more left?

Re: Who Bought The Ikolas'?

Wording  is crucial as they meant two different things.


I sexed my own fish too and yes he is cool enough to allow us to do so. Its those unsuspecting newbs that go buy whatever that ends up with all the rejects and males.

MJ, I'm glad he got over the whole "they will eat whatever" stage as well.

Re: Who Bought The Ikolas'?

Two quick shots of the ones I got from Xtreme..

Re: Who Bought The Ikolas'?

Dang, that one in the back of the first picture is a bit rounded....

[Kiovo]

Re: Who Bought The Ikolas'?

They're all pretty big, really agressive healthy eaters!  A couple of them even have some battle wounds!
I never really liked the ikolas until I saw these guys in person and I couldn't leave without buying some

Re: Who Bought The Ikolas'?

Ikolas are beautiful, one of my top picks.
