As David Armitage told me, the “Special issue No. 1” of the AAGB’s Labyrinth Series, our booklet on Parosphromenus, is nearly sold out. Maybe there are 20 copies or so left. So: If you didn’t order it already, do it quickly. This booklet of 48 pages is fully in English language! The question is whether to print a second edition? That is not yet clear. So please buy your copy in order to have it. Because of the price and address see our starting page.
An announcement: As it appears, the first extensive book on Parosphromenus, written by Martin Hallmann and myself, will appear in the autumn this year. There are two publishers interested; we decide to whom we will give it in about two weeks. The book will contain a little less than 200 pages and hundreds of photos by different authors. We think it will fill the needs of all who are interested in these fish and the future of their natural habitats. It deals with Paros in nature and in the aquarium. There are many photos of original habitats as they looked in former times and today.
But: The book will be in German! Certainly, it will be interesting and rewarding to read for all friends of that genus, but the language is German.
The price is not yet fixed exactly. Maybe it will cost nearly 30 Euros (about 35 US-dollars). We authors will probably earn nothing by that, since the production of such a costly book is rather expensive.
