[ecotank]

Well, unfortunately I was a bit ahead of my time with the whole company idea, it was going to be an online-mail order company and the investors didn't think it was possible to make a profit online (this was about 10 years ago). Maybe I'll revisit the idea again soon, but I've been busy with the online company I work for, so just no time. Gonna have to start selling endler's soon the way these lil guys keep breeding...I guess they are happy
