Issue # 4

 

The Writers

The articles written by our guest authors are so good, they carry this bulletin on their own. We can't thank them enough for their contributions. Thank you Bruce, Chris, Luke, Tomoko, Rosario, Hakan, and Claus. Also, our thanks goes out to those webmasters who have linked our bulletin in their respective web sites. We are reciprocating by having a new links section on our index page.

Also, if you read our technical articles, written by us editors, you know we are up to no good, and we are not embarrassed at all. We are writing articles about system desing and aquaculture, geared perhaps more for the "farmer" in us, but hopefully these are of interest to our readers who are more "pure" hobbyists. With our new format, we will be able to see the statistics for each article, and will take that into account for future issues.

If you read our issues as they are published, not only are you going to be delighted by the articles written by our international friends and writers, but we are likely to stumble upon some delightful surprises, as we sift through all available information; all of it absolutely free of charge. This is a gift to the international guppy community, from the international guppy community.

We are happy with the job we created for ourselves, and we hope to continue to interest potential writers to contribute articles of general interest. If you are a potential writer having something you would like to share with the world, please let us know. We would be delighted to see if we can format it for publication. Contact us.

The Bulletin

There aren’t very many periodicals in English dealing with the art and science of rearing guppies. Our hope is to be one more source of relevant information, available for free, and published on a fixed schedule.

This guppy bulletin format has been well received, as far as we can tell. Although we do not get very many direct e-mails from our readers, we do get some important feedback in spite of not being set up to do that effectively. We have been blessed with having such a great selection of writers representing Asia, Europe and America (and we mean the whole continent). Our hope is to continue to include writers from every region of the planet where people rear guppies.
