Loaches Online Forum

Just got back from the post-office after picking up the latest issue of "Tropical world" magazine sent to me by Emma.

Not only does it feature her article on Hillstream Loaches, but the whole front cover is an awesome photo of Puntius denisonii that is a great lead into an article on the species by Iggy Tavares

The Hillstream article is excellent Emma. I see what you mean about the last paragraph having been truncated. It seems you were just getting into how your Desert-Island fish tank was going to keep you happy on the island? Certainly not good proof-reading by whoever.

The article is amply illustrated by photos supplied by "some bloke who knows about these things", plus a schematic of the River-Tank manifold that I drew specially for Emma's use in this article. Gets the word out there. Nice for me to see my pictures in print with the credits right there, plus Emma's text credits me with being somewhat knowledgeable on the subject .

This is a really nice magazine actually. The new printers did a great job apart from the text blooper. Go get it Brits!

Thanks Emma......and for the lovely Marge photo on the thankyou card

Martin.

Congratulations Emma and Martin!!
Keep spreading the word!!!
And Martin, don't worry, you will be seeing your pics...and words for that matter, in print before too long.

Excellent work, Emma and Martin!

This Tropical World issue is certainly a priority to me. Must find one....must find....

I'm glad it arrived safely and quickly, and that you liked the article, Martin. Wish there had been room for a few more pics (such as Sewellia, Homaloptera, and the gorgeous SK02's that Hendra supplied) but alas, they have a space limit and I did get 4 pages on this after all.

Graeme - let me know if you get this issue (number 11) with the start of your subscription. If not, I can post you up a copy.

I'm sorry that the international subscription is so expensive - would have been nice for our friends over the pond to see it.

Emma

Envy. Crud. Wishful thinking gets you nowhere! Glad to hear that quality loachy info is getting 'out there'. Congrats to you both
Just wish I could see it too...

Thanks, Emma. Will do.

I've just payed my for my subscription starting with issue 11 cant wait to receive my first copy.

Just received my Issue 11 today! I could of just sat there and readied more and more of this excellent article. Pity it had to end. Truly superb! Someone should suggest a new Loach Book to read.......

SNAP , I got my copy of issue 11 today as well, absolutely great read. Well done Emma, and nice photos Martin

i got it too .

i just wondered, did everyone else how has it find that it fell open on the hillstream page?

My fingers did find it rather fast.

my fingers didnt even need to make that effort. i had wondered if someone had broken in to the publisher's stores, to open all the magazines on the hillsteam page, and then put a brick on that page so it mysteriously falls open there

Thank you for all the compliments! Hopefully it will help to get the information 'out there' a little bit more and encourage more people to keep hillstream loaches, and to keep them properly.

Emma

Maybe the magazine is trying to tell you something, Helen.

i think Martin is too! it will be a long wait
