Well said Mark.
I am finding more and more people are showing interest in rays once more, indeed we sold more rays recently than any other time. This is not a ray thing, its all to do with the recession. I keep and breed a few snakes not to mention know as many people with reptiles as I do rays and they are struggling to sell their off spring. For a longtime now anything over £50 has been hard to move on,Gaz (yargnits) A\C is not a true reflection of the market, all the same people on it, many of which want everything for nothing. Times have been hard for most people and the ones with the money have been frightened to part with it due to the uncertainty of the economy. Since the governments have been telling us we are in recovery and I sincerely believe we are albeit only steady I sense a feel good factor amongst customers once more, more and more big systems are being built throughout the aquarium trade to house large fish\rays.
So lets hear a few more positives its not all doom and gloom, this is a great hobby, a hobby that we can all do within the comforts of our own homes\fish houses, energy costs have risen but every hobby has its increases no matter what it is, there are many more interests out there that put a strain on our bank accounts far more than having your very own slice of the Amazon next to your sofa.
BEST HOBBY IN THE WORLD BAR NONE!!
Happy ray keeping to everyone, better times are just around the corner!!
