Houston Aquarium Warehouse!

Re: Houston Aquarium Warehouse!

Today was the first time we've been in to HAW, and I have to say it was amazing!  The discus are stunning.  It's one thing to see them in photos, but incredible to see them in person.  I don't think I've ever seen such a variety of discus in one place...and I'm sure I've never seen that many looking so healthy and happy.  

I also liked that he has so many different types of fish.  I even had to ask Nick what one of them was because I'd never seen it before!  

I fell in love with the Altum and could have stayed there for hours just looking at them.  

As for Dan, what a great guy!  I felt like we were being welcomed into his home instead of walking into a fish store.  Turns out we have a lot of the same interests...fish (obviously) and photography.  It's not often I walk into a store and leave feeling like I've made a new friend.

And great to see Nick and also to meet Gene!

Re: Houston Aquarium Warehouse!

Fishlady and I had a nice visit with Dan and spuds today, and as always we where treated with excellent, well, I wouldn't call it customer service, since Dan treats everyone like family.  Dan it was a pleasure spending time with you again, see you soon.  Remember, my order please, 4 to 6 zebra loaches, and one maybe two of those really nest pleco's we talked about.

Thanks...

Re: Houston Aquarium Warehouse!

I could not wait any longer to add the discus to this tank.  The plants still needs more time to get established.

Re: Houston Aquarium Warehouse!

Found myself in West Houston today and took the opportunity to stop by HAW.
Dan, appreciate the conversation.  Yes, after keeping fish for 50 years, you still taught me something.  Live Long & prosper.

The place is a little hard to find even with a map, but the stop is worth the effort fellow boxers.
Got the supplies I wanted and some fine fish all at a very reasonable price.

Fellow CAKer,  I now have a Tiger pleco too.
