Hello All,
I just want to thank Andrew for "another" group of Ikola that I received yesterday. Yes I said "another"! I purchased a group of 20 from him this past summer and things went bad. The fish came in GREAT and everything was fine until I went away for a few days. When I got back there was at least one dead one in my tank and a few others didn't look good. I left food for them to be fed but I don't know if there were double feedings and other days skipped or what else could have happened? Anyway I lost a total of 15 when all was said and done so I was left with only a few fish and a question, do I get more or move on to a different variant? I contacted Andrew and talked to him about it and ultimately came to the decision that adding to the existing colony would be the route to go. I received the fish yesterday, yes it turned out to be the coldest day this winter by far! I got them in my tank about 11:30 last night and shut the lights off. These guys look AMAZING! The larger ones are already starting to show a nice yellow band, and they are about 1.5" so if at this size they look this good I can't wait till they get to 3". I am glad that I went this route and can't thank Andrew enough for these amazing fish. If you are looking for F1 Tropheus don't pass on his fish they are really beautiful fish. I also purchased 20 Bulu Point from him and have had ZERO issues with the group. Sorry for the long post but just wanted to share my experience.
