John,
We have had quite a number of Galaxiid articles in 'Fishes of Sahul' and
'ANGFA News' in recent volumes. These are available to members.
Membership is cheap (Aust$40).
Visit www.angfa.org.au
I hope to have an online directory of 'ANGFA News' articles, available
soon.
An online directory of 'Fishes of Sahul' will follow if people find it
useful.

Personally I have kept 4 species, the best of which (for an aquarium)
was 'Galaxiella pusilla', however where I live gets too warm for
reliable completion of most Galaxiid life-cycles in above ground
captivity and my only project at the moment is to get 'Galaxias olidus'
living and breeding in a dam and creek on my property.
Surely Scandinavia has some interesting little Galaxiid equivalent to
hold your attention?

Later
Matthew

Subject: [RML] Galaxiids

Out of curiosity and given that questions regarding Australasian fish
other than Rainbows pop up here from time to time, does anybody keep
galaxiids? Not that I expect them to be available in Sweden, but we had
them in some of the creeks on the farm where I grew up in New Zealand so
I'm interested in hearing about them.

cheers, John.
