ALL ANIMALS ARE COLLECTED IN A DRUG FREE MANNER
THIS MEANS WE DO NOT SPRAY THE REEF WITH DESTRUCTIVE CHEMICALS. The collector uses nets and experience to acquire all animals.
A Drug permit is available from the State of Florida for Salt Water Product license holders. This makes collecting animals much easier since you just have to squirt the chemical into the animals hiding place and everything in there is either killed, (larvae stage or juvenile) or knocked out (adult)! There are no study's about how this affect's the living animal's longevity which you purchase collected in this manner.
Of course this is only my opinion, as far as I know there have never been studies done on the
affect of "Q" in the marine environment. The decline in collectable quantities of Marine Life
during the last 40 years may be due to overcollecting, or pollution, or whatever, but it was enough for me to stop using "Q" fifteen years ago.
Wake up collectors, you ARE killing your resources.BACK TO FRONTPAGE ON TO SEAHORSE RANCH ATLANTIC ANIMAL ORDER-PRICE FORM
