"Another aspect that great improvements have been made in the tropical fish industry is, is the way that even these artificial plants have been constructed. These are, look very real. I should point to our Attorney General that this one is not real so don't come and arrest me on that one, Attorney General. But artificial plants, this does two things. It makes the tank look better. Visual, visual stimulation for us the person enjoying the tropical fish. Plus, of course, the fish enjoy hiding out and avoiding each other and it allows them to sort of thrive in the tank. Without sort of bumping in each other. It just provides a break, a breakup of space. So it does something for the fish as far as making them feel more comfortable too. So as we did with everything, we rinse this first. And you can kind of get creative. Of course, you'd probably want to put the taller plants in the background. So it would afford you to be able to see. But you can kind of get creative here and, obviously, you don?t want to over stack it. But these plants here have nice bases so that the fish don't, basically, lift up the plants and have them floating at the top. So these will stay just like this. And you'll find that the fish will, will come around and feed around the rocks and hide in the plants. And it just kind of makes it fun for everybody. I guess you'd with those plants. It's pretty much up to you what you want to select. Fish don't really; really care just as long as it's getting the job done."
