Updates to the web site have been few and far between recently. This is because
I have been very busy writing a book on the Danioninae. Each species of Danio, Danionella,
Devario, Microdevario, Microrasbora, Esomus, Chela and Paedocypris has at least
one page of text and picture where available. Species that have yet to be described
have also been included. In addition, a number of blank pages have been included
so that as new species become available, the information can be down loaded from
the web site and placed in the book. This should ensure that the book is always
up to date.
The book also contains a superb article by Ivor Hilton on breeding Danionella translucida
(with additional information by Pete Liptrot & Paul Dixon of Bolton Aquarium). Dr
Ralf Britz has contributed a great article on the Scientific study of Danionins
and Dr Sven Kullander has written a very thought provoking foreword which he has
entitled 'Passion'.
Reviews of the book have been very encouraging. One reviewer stated that it would
be the standard text book for the Danionins for the next 20 to 30 years. Another
liked the idea that it could be kept up to date by down loading from the web site
the latest information.
In the four months to date, copies have been despatched to the following countries:
Austria, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany,
Holland, India, Italy, Myanmar, New Zealand, Norway, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Thailand,
United States of America and of course the United Kingdom. I will be happy to add
your country to the list!

Aquarists in the USA and Canada should contact Mike Schadle at The Fish Factory.
His e mail is

to provide a faster, better delivery service than has been the case.
