For the Anti-New Guinea Rainbowfish Lobby I thought I would post a list of
NG Rainbowfishes currently in Australia. I have visions of Unmack doing a
similiar list before he departed this Wonderful Country in search of the
Holy Grail - correct me if I'm wrong Peter. I think it appeared in the
Bulletin?.

There may be a couple more that I'm not aware of but anyone can send me an
anonymous email via Finland if they want to update my list ;-)
In the European hobby there are another 2 or 3 (I think from memory) and
Heiko has another 4 new ones he was flogging for around $500.00 a pair if
anyone is interested?
Adrian.
ps. No, I don't have any of those rare & wonderful ones so don't send any
requests!
