It is a long shot, but Tropical Fish Hobbyist at least, used to be sold in the UK. Would it be available in a shop? (American shops, to my dismay, are dropping the magazines. As a whole, American aquarists - not the on-line crowd - may already be the least read in any of the more developed countries.)

I either get my magazines by subscription or go to one of the "big-box" book stores. Places which sell many different magazines may have it. Here I can pick up Practical Fishkeeping in the Book/Magazine places.

There was one local pet shop which carried it, but that is no longer the case. I guess they expect American hobbyists will learn my osmosis (or they can manipulate an uninformed customer base.) Ah - sort of sorry about the rant.

The really fine print in a recent TFH suggests in the UK checking with TFH Publications (Great Britain) Ltd, PO Box 74, Havant PO7 STT

Hope that helps. If it doesn't and it is not available digitally and you don't mind largish file attachments on several e-mails, I'll scan you the one copy allowed by copyright law "for research purposes."

Never saw it in my or the hobby's best interests to subscribe to TFH until two years ago. Up until then, I bought the issues which I felt deserved to be purchased, sometimes in triplicate, for myself and others.

All the best!
Scott

in this fish, but I can't get TFH, which I'm guessing is a magazine? ;-)
