I know of several hobbyists in Europe who keeps Cichlids in magnificient aquascapes (and who plan on entering) so I doubt that there will be any lack of entries of that type. Anyway, he's decided to donate two of his books......"Tanganyika Cichlids in Their Natural Habitat" (Catalogue Price $65.00US) and "Enjoying Cichlids" (Catalogue Price $35.00US). They should be on there way to Dave shortly.... Ad Konings books are beautiful and we should have no complaints from the luck person(s) who receive them as Prizes.
