More people will see the "light" soon! :) I will actually start doing some advertising for the first time ever. I'm just worried that it will encourage some more unscrupulous individuals who happen to live where these shrimp naturally occur to go out there and basically poach them and sell them as "captive-bred" animals. I guess the only way to counter that is by educating people and hope they care.

Maybe you should create a mini documentary on the destruction of their ecosystems with a link to your shop? This way you'll be advertising but also raising awareness to the issue.
