Re: Village Tropical Fish

Don and Steve will both be at village now... what a combination. It was that way for a long time before, those are the only two guys working at lfs in the area that I have ever taken christmas presents to thank them for their constant outstanding knowledge and service. They will tell you what they know and unlike a lot of others will tell you when they do not know, and will try to help you find out what you need to know..
Roger needs to raise both their salaries and leave them alone.....

you are right on the $$$$$ part and the latter.  It is very hard to find quality folks like these 2.  I like Village and don't mind paying the $$$ either.  

This decision just raised their stock in my book!

Re: Village Tropical Fish

Stop by VT today & Don is working there.  Don has be in a couple of places sence he left VT a few years back. with Don & Steve they will have over 50 years of freshwater knowledge.
The date Roger is planning on moving to the new store is March 12. Its not set in stone.

They started to put fish in the tanks at the new location yesterday

Re: Village Tropical Fish

Went by the new location today. About 75% of the freshwater tanks have water with fish. Everyone was very busy getting everything setup. The 4000 gallon is setup just cycling with some small fish in it. It does look amazing.

They are saying it should be open around March 15.
It does look like they will open on March 15.

Re: Village Tropical Fish

Apparently the new location is opening about five minutes from my school! I pass by it every morning and I'm really exited that it'll actually be opening next week! I can't wait!

PS I'm new here! I'm going to be setting up a 29 gal betta girl sorority tank soon! I'll make sure to post all about it here!

Received this email today:


Dear Customer,
After months of back breaking work we here at Aquarium Environments/ Village Tropical Fish have brought together both ends of our business to better service the greater Houston area with your aquatic needs. By bringing both locations together under one roof we have decided to unify ourselves under one name. This name is not something we pulled out of thin air, it has its roots in Dallas, and continues to provide the same commitment to quality and service as we do here in Houston.


This Spring Houston's number one source of Freshwater & Saltwater fish, supplies, live plants, live corals, custom aquariums, and services will be opening their doors as:

Fish Gallery Inc. -- Houston
located at 4527 Lomitas
Houston, TX 770098
Hours 10 - 8


We are now more centrally located in Houston with extensive parking, easy freeway access, extended hours, and great dining surrounding our new location. Inside we have now a vast selection of supplies for both the freshwater and saltwater hobbiest as well as custom aquariums in different applications. We cover all of your aquarium & outdoor pond needs with many examples to suit your tastes.

Come by and take a complete tour of our new facility including our new 4500 gallon freshwater aquarium complete with custom amazon river "insert"!!!!

See you then!

The Fish Gallery Family
P.S.
All our services will still be provided by Aquarium Environments, Inc.

Re: Village Tropical Fish

I just got an email from them saying they're going to have a 4500 gallon tank, is this true?  They mentioned it was going to be like 20 feet long.

Re: Village Tropical Fish

So Village is now Fish Gallery (like in Dallas) and will be open daily from 10-8? Everyday? Does anybody know?  

Thanks!
