I agree Adrian - but how do you get them to write articles on fish keeping?
That's one of the reasons Barry and I started the A-Z series to try to get
some keeping and breeding info out but despite all the "raping and
pillaging" that must be going on out there we aren't getting too many
contributions from the general membership. If the IRG and RSG members would
like to contribute then I'm sure we could work out a satisfactoty
contradeal. I have tried to do unusual species if possible because info on
keeping them in aquaria is the hardest to find, but we would be happy to do
any species that is initiated with a reasonable attempt.
