Hans-Georg Evers introduces the issue, discussing the intersection of the scientific community with the aquarium hobby. “I am pleased that, despite a perceived loss of dedication and the commercialization of our hobby, there are still enough people who fiddle around with fishes, do research, and add to our general knowledge. Is there another hobby that has so many facets, so many different unknowns, and so many areas of interest? I cannot think of one.”
Ingo Seidel kicks off our Aquatic Notebook with “News about the genera Aphanotorulus and Isorineloricaria.” Also in the notebook, two new Hypancistrus species, new rainbowfishes, and Corydoras eversi.

“An honorable mention in the AGA International Aquascaping Contest is quite an honor. It indicates that several of the judges rated the aquascape very highly, or that at least one judge awarded it first place in its category,” writes AGA President Cheryl Rogers.

“The border area between Brazil, Colombia, and Venezuela is extremely exciting for angelfish lovers because a distribution gap for Pterophyllum altum might close there,” states author Georg W. Wüst. “To travel this remote part of the world can be quite an adventure.” Go there when you read “Angelfishes of the Rio Negro.”
Not to be missed by lovers of Pterophyllum spp.! “ENIGMATIC ANGELS: Examining angelfish origins and evolution in Brazil’s Rio Negro,” by Michael J. Tuccinardi.
