John, If I hadn't had my tea (I love the smell, but hate the taste of coffee.) or that "blue stuff" already, I would be mean and just say subscribe to DATZ, Das Aquarium, Tetra Informationen, & Aqua-Magazine (Tokyo). But I won't. I understand your problem. Way too many new species are available and sadly no one is writing about them in English language publications. Nearly all of the dedicated d.c. "experts" don't write for English publications. Hopefully this will change when new d.c. books come on line next year. Yeah, I know, you've heard this "song & dance" before. This time publication & distribution shouldn't be problems. That's all I'm willing to say on the subject right now. Still, books are usually dated before they are printed. For now all you can do is ask questions of people here and elsewhere, and see what happens. I try to keep ASG members updated on the more important new species in the Apisto-gram, but it's hard to do this in a quarterly publication. Another important thing we all can do, but almost no one does, is WRITE! Too many of us have these fish but don't report anything on them. Information not communicated isn't information at all.
