We know; these clichéd 'international' greetings have to stop. SF news is having a difficult time composing anything creative this morning following a Gambas-induced bout of gastroenteritis over the weekend. Oh, the horrors we have seen...

...ahem, moving swiftly on we would like to offer a very warm welcome to Siamensis.de, a new website that aims to provide detailed information about the natural biotopes of Anabantoids and other species. The work of two German Anabantoid nuts, it is a little different to your average aquarium site because these guys visit the biotopes personally before reporting on them. The result is some superb first-hand information including images of the habitats and the fish found there plus water parameter details and maps. The site is only available in German at present but is well worth a visit for the images alone ... more

Yes you did read that correctly señoras y caballeros. You see we hope that this site will grow into a true international community of like-minded fishy types whilst helping to promote some of the conservation efforts for freshwater species that are going on around the globe.

We hope you find them both useful and enjoyable! ... more

To test the theory that "no news is good news", we've decided to stop adding items here for the time being. At least that's what we're telling our mums. We actually need to devote a bit of time to other areas of the site, sorting out the incomplete species profiles in the knowledge base as well as some other bits and pieces that we never seem to have time for.
