Re: Wild Ikola Tropheus Group

To the right side it also says WC adults. Perhaps, that is the group that produces the F1 fry they sell?

It shows that there are no F1 Juveniles available, only the WC colony of 27: 11M/16F.

Re: Wild Ikola Tropheus Group

Under the photo it says F1 breeders.

I understand that "they" say they also have WC group for sale.

I just want some clarifications on the photos and what is it he is really selling.

He said he is selling them for a "friend", why not just post the link to their site.

Re: Wild Ikola Tropheus Group

Well.. I know its going to come off that I'm defending him, when it should be he, who is defending himself.. But I'm not. I'm just going to relay any information I've gathered from about a dozen phone calls, emails, and about 100 pms over the last two weeks.


I asked Will if he had any Rainbows for sale and he said that a friend of his, a "she", would have some available in a few weeks - as evident by this:



He also told me that "she" wanted to move her breeding colony of Ikola to make room for more fish, as evident by this:



As for not posting directly to that website, he and the owner probably have an agreement, that since he is selling/shipping this weekend, he would put her colony up for her as well.

The Ujiji however, I don't know. He told me he had "up to" 70 he could sell, which makes me think he has the first group of 40, and if someone wanted, he would (on behalf of the website owner) sell the other 30 as well, as evident by this:



I think in the end, it was a innocent mistake to not come out and give ALL the information. I stopped researching once I found out where the fish I was getting (the Ulwile) are coming from. I'm sure Will will post when he gets home from work and provide any details we may ask of him.

Re: Wild Ikola Tropheus Group

I dont think that her F1 Breeding group of Ikola would be the same as the WC group 3.5-4" in size.

I most surely hope not.

Re: Wild Ikola Tropheus Group

Well, for whomever might be buying these, I hope not too - but on many websites, people don't update their livestock photos, which is why at least that one is labeled as such.

Re: Wild Ikola Tropheus Group

I decided not buy from Dannumber since I thought he was coming to Houston instead of shipping it here.

Re: Wild Ikola Tropheus Group

Dan & Semper, I will buy 3 trios if you can verify that they are WC and not adult F1s.
That if y'all still wanna do the deal though.

[eklikewhoa]

Re: Wild Ikola Tropheus Group

Go h0nkzz Go!

Those ikolas you have now are F'ing awesome! Adding to that colony is surely gonna make for a killer display!



I dealt with cichlidandherpz for some dry goods that are not readily available and usually crap is pawned off in it's place but I got superb communication and an excellent product.

Re: Wild Ikola Tropheus Group

I agree with Ek, I think if Cichlid & Herps is selling them as a WC breeding colony, then they are just that.


DO IT!

Re: Wild Ikola Tropheus Group

well I'm all for it if they wanna deal.
Hell I'll even take 4 trios if it helps make it happen.
