Hi Matt, it's Katherine Kraft from Tropic Isle Aquarium (new owner still working with the previous owner, Ellis London (78, in charge for 58 years); we have worked together for 16 years and fought hard to save this store and transform it back to greatness. We are looking to bring people with shared passions for this hobby together). I just wanted to thank you for your article keeping busy people & new business owners like myself in the know and sharing our passions of fish husbandry and education. Ellis London, the previous owner (now 78 but still working for the love of the fish), has done a lot of genetic research (some cancer research) and has 58 years breeding, running retail and wholesale stores, and lots of experience with an impressive background in chemistry and biology. We have over 300 aquariums in our store with both freshwater and saltwater livestock and a passion for learning/teaching and evolving. If you are ever nearby, please stop by and take a peek at our new larger location and labor of love full of plants, corals, invertebrates, snails, rocks, driftwood, aquascaping and breeding tools at 686 Worcester Road, Framingham, Ma. It would be our pleasure to show you around. If you are ever looking for an article of interest, Mr. Ellis London would be a great point of interest to share for the hobby and experiences in the research/breeding/wholesale/retail and service sector from the age of 20-78 years. Best Regards and Thank you again, ~Katherine Kraft~
