Re: Houston Aquarium Warehouse!

I finally went to the Warehouse for the first time this weekend.  Great shop, really healthy fish!  I picked up a cool school of Corydora Axelrodi and some discus.

They are unique....I'm not sure if I find them attractive or just an oddity.....I bet they would look better in a planted environmnet.

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

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!

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!

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!

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.
