Mike from FlyCafe.net saying "HI"

FlyCafe.net · 05-19-2009, 12:45 AM

It is funny how we find some of the best things on the Internet (how at the end). I ended up in Reptiles due to my oldest Son now almost 14 well over 6 years ago and after 49 Reptiles at one point and after selling off almost all of our reptiles, I somehow ended up enjoying the fine tuning of Fruit Fly Breeding. From Nutri-Bugs to FlyCafe.net ... over 6 years of tweaking formulas to end up with big fat, healthy Fruit Flies that I feed to my own Dart Frogs. Well after a ton of growth in the business over the past few years, I felt it was time (as I was finally turning a decent profit) to give back where it would help the growth of FlyCafe.net (that helps me afford supporting the great sites like DartFrogForums.com) and help promote websites with resources that many of my customer's would find very helpful. No one had ever told me about DartFrogForums.com as I found it be accident through Google.com and was very impressed with the layout and the overall look, especially the nice use of photos and videos. I even missed the word "Beta" as it was too slick of a site for me to notice that. I felt that both the advertising rates (as the profit part of my business is a recent thing I didn't have a lot of cash to spend) and the site as a whole were a great fit for my customer's and my site.

From first impressions I can easily see this site will grow very rapidly. I know once my FlyCafe.net site is moved to it's new location (a better shopping cart application) I will be adding a link for my customer's to find DartFrogForums.com.

I hope I can bring a great deal of information to users that need a little help with creating their own Fruit Fly Cultures while many of the users with more experience with Dart frogs can help me out with info when needed as I feel my knowledge with Dart frogs currently would only be useful to newbies whom I will more than graciously help when and where I can.

Thank You,
Mike
