Dear Mr Strohmeyer, I've been dying to ask you something. You know how I feel about Quality Pets INc, Marineland /MARS, and Tetra and a few others hiding under the UNITED PETS umbrella which furnish Walmart with tanks they allow to go without routine maintenance and kill millions of poor fish. I was wonderin, In your opinion, which Aquatic company's, or corporations do you find most despicable. Attachments:

I was wonderin, In your opinion, which Aquatic company's, or corporations do you find most despicable. This is a tough question that might be best discussed in private. I would also divide it between the ethics of livestock care and the ethics of daily business practice. Even then the two often overlap. Even makers of some good products will often practice poor ethics based on my experience in the hobby. An example would be Weco and especially Build my LED (of whom I have saved screenshots of what they have said and done). But rather focusing on the negative, why not support those who support both good livesotck ethics and business practices. Examples here would include TMC/Tropic Marin, ATI Hydro Sponge, SeaChem, Quality Marine USA (marine livestock supplier of the highest integrity) or AquaTropic (freshwater livestock supplier of the highest integrity) www.aquatropic.com/When ever anyone ignores some of the more ethical aquatic suppliers or retailers, all we are in essence doing is supporting those that are bringing the hobby down. Sorry to toot my own horn, but I just had a business consulting meeting yesterday and the consultant told me that my business would be worth 100% more if my payroll and some other expenses were in line with an internet business of similar gross sales. Where am I going with this? Well most of this extra expense is manpower time keeping up our articles, helping in several forums, answering email questions, etc. as well as website maintenance for our many information websites. Does this pay off in sales? Apparently not according to this consultant. He could be proved wrong if more persons were to be supportive like many here at EA are, however of the 1000s of hits per day we get in our many articles & web sites, only a handful ever translate into sales. Many disappear to purchase at eBay, Amazon, Dr. fosters, etc. Carl

In fact not all my stores are Quality Pets, but 1 or 2. They're some shadowy livestock dealers. I'm still on the lookout. The # was the direct line to Quality Marine, Corporate Sales Manager Travis Craigmiles, who gave me the story about puffs eating full heads of lettuce. I googled the # to find out exactly where Travis was, and it took me right to him at Quality Pets. So I looked up Quality Marine and called em up to ask if they knew that a Walmart source had claimed they were supplying their store. they said they USED to have a guy there by the name Travis Craigmiles, but now he works for Quality Pets. Is it possible that Donny Flemming is involved here? These guys have been playing cat n mouse with me for a full year. Can't beleave a word they say. Then there was that Quality Pets "vice manager" who tried to intimidate me, who left me alone when i told him all the dirt i found on them, including the amusing detail he missed on their website where he's listed as the DRY GOODS BUYER I hope your Quality Marine is clean. I truly do, Sir. I know all these guys rub elbows in the same business, and im not about to cause trouble and burn any bridges. ButI got just 1 true nemesis I'd like to ask a few guestions, and his name is Donny Flemming.

All the known companys enmeshed with QP are listed in the files on my Puffer Corps FB group.
I invite you to please peruse the contents. You can shed some light on the persons I've discovered who are involved in blocking wildlife conservation petitions and lobbying for laws that favor their environmentally unethical collecting practices.
They are wide spread companys who share smployee's and expertise between them. They also share the same BLACKFISH phylosophy.

Donny Flemming & Travis Craigmiles are associated with Quality Pets, not Quality Marine USA which have never been associated with each other. Quality Marine USA is associated with AquaTropic USA Tropic Marine Center UK, and Tropic Marin Germany None of these businesses sell to Walmart or even allow their products and livestock to be present at any discounter such as eBay or Amazon. I know this too because I tried selling some product via eBay once and was called out in a cease & disist. Example: www.corporationwiki.com/California/Gardena/travis-craigmiles/117376217.aspxYou need to be careful when you attempt to call out corruption using the most morally and legally corrupt search engine: Google! I NEVER use Google other to see what they bring up and it is often irrelevant cr## from Amazon even when making scientific search terms such as "Aquarium UV Sterilization" Using the above search term (without quotes) in Google I get a lot of spam and sties that have plagiarized from us. In Bing, my article which represent my life's work, and many references and that has been around far longer than the cr## Google brings up is the first result on the first page. WHILE with Google it is not to be found on the first page (it used to before all the plagiarism of my information for which Google penalized ME for, and yes I have filed legal DMCA complaints one after the other with Google laughing right back at me with their high paid lawyers) References: www.myopinions-carl.com/2013/09/amazon-google-in-bed-search-adwords.htmlwww.fish-as-pets.com/2012/05/google-is-evil-content-plagiarism.htmlwww.myopinions-carl.com/2009/07/google-lies-dishonesty.htmlCarl
