The name "Psycray" came to us after an encounter with, bizarrely enough, a psychotically determined crayfish. He was working feverishly to reorganize his home, digging around to find the best stones, putting them in the best places. We puzzled over his motivation: maybe he wanted his tank's design to better reflect his personality; maybe he was trying to attract other crayfish; perhaps the time had just come for him to overhaul his home.
Whatever his reason, we found his tenacity and work ethic - his desire to stay competitive - impressive. It was something to emulate, something we were eager to bring to our clients.
The name "Psycray" is our way of keeping our commitment to client satisfaction at the forefront of our company's mission: that's The Psycray Way. |
