Re: Xtreme fish and pets

fish and pets its not his store per se. it is his brothers store actually. they are seperate stores. Troung wanted to do his own thing. one thing with all stores is the more often you go or the more you spend the more help you recieve and its more likely they will remeber you. this is true with every store in town. when i started going to city pets no one would talk to me now everyone in the store at least acknowledges that im there and will keep an eye out to see if i need help. when i go to xtreme Troung stops what hes doing and says hello, he will usually walk around with me and show me new things in the store he knows i might like. give him some time and you will propably like him as well are better than all of the other fish store owners. well he and Donnie anyway.

Re: Xtreme fish and pets

never asked dude at xtreme the name of his other store, he just said he had another one and where it was....maybe ya'll can ask him about if your ever in there again.  He sorta acted like he didn't really want to tell me anything about the other store, only that he has one more.

Re: Xtreme fish and pets

fondren fish&pets (bellfort) = same owner's as xtreme

If it is, I still say this is a nice LFS. The prices are as low, sometimes lower than City Pets.

Re: Xtreme fish and pets

When I asked about feeding the petros and trophs he gave me this reply....." well, they eat anything! Bloodworms, pellets, flakes, anything!" then he asked what I fed mine and I had to school him a bit....then he showed me this very poor grade spirulina flakes and said " yeah I feed this too".

Re: Xtreme fish and pets

Lucy there is not a LFS at Fondren & Bellaire.  The closes one is Global fish Bellaire & Gessner & I doubt its the same owner.

I doubt she means Fondren Fish'n'Pets at Fondren and Bellfort. I have never had any problems with the fish purchased there. They do sell a few dyed fish unfortunately . Occasionally, I have made a few great finds there, like hillstream loaches for 5.99 and a river eel :) .

Re: Xtreme fish and pets

I live very close to xtreme and I am currently looking for a new store....I have had good hardware experiences, they have some of the best pricing....but the fish usually die and alot of their stock is brackish but sold as FW, for instance....my scats, monos, and flounders.....FW for part of the life but they move to brackish as they grow older and mature.  

Guy there told me when I asked about ph rebound as I was having issues, "don't worry about your ph, I never check mine"  oh dear!!!   8O

I took some fish back recently, that had a fungus.....had it when I bought them just didn't show signs of illness til 2 days later at my house, anyway, guy told me that it was not fungus but other fish nipping at them....BS!!!! I know fungus and they were in quarentine anyway, I told him as much and he replied with "then your water is bad"   I have perfect as you can get water thank you!!  When he took them out of my tupper ware container he just scooped them out with his hands and tossed them straight into the tank with the rest of the fish :evil: .  3 days later there was only 1 out of 22 fish left in that tank and I doubt the 21 that were gone got sold.  

Every fish I have ever gotten from there has been starved half to death and they act like they don't much care about the welfare of the livestock, at least that is the impression they give....A large clown loach jumped out of the tank when I was there once and they were happy to leave him on the floor. I scooped him up, dropped him back in the tank and later I bought him out of sympathy....I mean he did almost land on my feet so I guess he was begging me to buy him....He lived and is a happy snail eating dude!  


As far as troubles dealing with a new business, this is his 2nd store, he has another LFS, don't know the name but it is close to Bellaire and Fondren and from what I understand it is older than the Bellaire/Boone Rd store.  Never been there but I may go one day.  

I say this store is great for supplies but only gets a mediocre at best for the livestock due to the sorry health of most.

Re: Xtreme fish and pets

I was at this store today and all of his fish look to be in excellent shape. The petro trew are very nice and I would buy them if I had the room. As always I received excellent service,
