Caryl Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 I am having a tougher time than usual thinking of articles for the next magazine. Anyone willing to send me something? I have 26 pages left to fill and am having a blank attack There are lots of you on here breeding fish, setting up tanks, growing plants, building DIY stuff, backgrounds etc. How about writing an article about it for me? Anyone whose article gets used gets a free copy of the magazine (assuming they do not already do so) and the excitement of seeing their name is an internationally read magazine! Pics are good too. Nobody is expecting it to be perfect - that is what the editor is for - to correct stuff. The Aquarium World is FOR hobbyists, BY hobbyists so please have a think. Even if it is something short I can use as a filler, anything would be appreciated. So far I have an interesting reply to fishy_t's article in the last magazine re the results of fish keeping on wild fish populations, an article on dropsy (thanks billaney), a perch egg exporting article (thanks Dave) and a bit from NIWA on the impact of ocean acidification. Blue, can you do something on worms? I remember you commenting you thought one of the pics in the last magazine was not of planaria, as stated. How about something on the worms you think they actually were (was it flat worms?) Stella, have you time for something on native fish? I know you are busy but I'm asking anyway 8) . It's your own fault for getting others more interested in native fish. Come on all of you - HELP PLEASE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 How about we have a couple pages dedicated to pictures of peoples fish with captions on them? We'll call them lolcatfish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 I saw the plea and was about to hit reply (while skimming your post) then saw my name.... :oops: I will start the photo essay of bully species NOW. Should be easy to do and fill a few pages. There are five species, I will crop a few photos and do some captions. Will later do galaxiids then misc...... You do a great job with the magazine Caryl, and helped me out tremendously with reading over my book, only too happy to help you out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firefish Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 I can do one about breeding my GBA's and I'm in the process of convincing my dad to do one about antarctic fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted March 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Needed ASAP but any that are not used for the May edition can be used in the August one. Sometimes I will have 2 articles on a similar subject so they need to be separated. Each magazine I try to have at least 1 of each of the following subjects; coldwater tropical marine food plant disease Thankyou Stella. I shouldn't have named anyone specifically I guess, I got carried away :roll: firefish all would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 ok, I have run up a quick article. I sent to to Andrew several hours ago to read over but haven't heard back (shocking! ) Will just send it on to you. It was thrown together very quickly and is horrible having to be brief (what do I leave out??!?!) but will definitely fill a page or three.... Am trying to get Andrew to do an article on the native fish hunt we did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never got an email from you. Is what is there now what you want to finish with? If so, I am happy to use it.

Caryl Posted April 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Thanks to those who have responded so far though! Remember, this is an ongoing problem so I ALWAYS need articles :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke* Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 When do you need it in by? I can do one on these rare fish I'm breeding. At the moment I'm just making the egg traps though trying a design of my own. I'll get heaps of pics just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted April 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Just any time is fine Luke. As I said, it is an ongoing problem so if it is too late for one issue it can always go in the next. I currently have one from someone who has bred their GBA's (Bella and Edward :lol: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted April 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Anyone able to produce something marine? Many thanks to those who heard my plea and sent articles. If anyone also has any ideas or a subject they would like to see in the mag, let's hear it too. Perhaps someone will produce articles on them for us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesejawa Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 I would really love to do an article on native plants but theres one problem, I dont know anything about them. Could I do an article on what I dont know about native plants? :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
