Editor's Message
Here it is Saturday already with the Annual Installation dinner tonight and the monthly meeting tomorrow night. My life has been a little hectic lately as I am encumbered by a "Moon Boot" due to an injury to a tendon in my left foot. But I expect to stumble into you tonight or tomorrow night! Charles Pratt |

Rainbowfishes ~ Their Care & Keeping in Captivity is a comprehensive and
illustrated guide to the remarkable rainbowfishes found in Australia and New
Guinea. It is an indispensable reference manual for anyone interested in keeping
rainbowfishes in captivity. The book provides a tremendous amount of information
for anyone from beginner to experienced keeper on just about everything needed
to keep and breed rainbowfishes successfully. Detailed easy to follow sections
guide the reader through all aspects of their care and keeping in captivity. The
information provided covers topics such as distribution, habitats, collecting,
shipping, keeping and caring, how to successfully breed and raise rainbowfishes,
foods and feeding, disease treatment and prevention, and much more. A
comprehensive illustrated species section is also provided.
In this book the rainbowfish keeper is provided with proven, practical methods
for the successful management and propagation of rainbowfishes to ensure they
can maintain long-term self-sustainable populations. It is the authors' hope
that this book will assist rainbowfish keepers in achieving this goal. No other
publication currently exists that brings together all the methods and techniques
for successfully keeping rainbowfishes in captivity.
The book combines the authors' years of experience with scientifically
researched information from around the globe. This information together with
excellent photographs of most of the known species of rainbowfishes from
recognised hobbyists world-wide have contributed to make this a truly
international rainbowfish reference book.
