We are a local group of aquatic enthusiasts. Formed in 1952, the Greater Akron Aquarium Society is a non- profit, non-commercial organization. Our membership ranges from the beginning hobbyist to the advanced aquarist with many years of experience. The goals of our club are to promote the care, study, breeding and exhibition of aquarium related aquatic life and to promote interest in the aquarium hobby. MEETINGS: Our meetings are held on the first Thursday of each month at 8:00 p.m. at the Mogadore Community/Senior Center, 3857 Mogadore Road, Mogadore, Ohio. It is located East of Route 532 across from McDonald’s in the former post office building. Visitors are always welcome, it costs absolutely nothing to attend a meeting and look us over. MEMBERSHIP: The cost is only $7.50 for adults, $10 for a couple or a family (includes children under 10 years of age) and $5.00 for a junior membership (10 to 17 years) Membership provides an opportunity to socialize with other that share your interests, a subscription to our bi-monthly magazine, library usage and more. AGENDA: Our meeting agenda is simple and informal. The meeting will begin at 8:00 p.m. with a short business meeting. Immediately following is the program for the evening which usually lasts about 45 minutes. Our programs consist of a speaker, slide program, movie or perhaps a panel discussion always on a particular subject related to the hobby or various species of fish. Following the program is a short refreshment break. After which the winners of the Bowl Show are an- nounced, the Breeder’s Award Program fish are auctioned and tickets are drawn for the equipment and book raffles. THE BOWL SHOW: Each month members can bring in fish for specific classes to compete for first, second and third place awards. The charge for each entry is only $.25. Members also compete for annual awards by accumulating wins throughout the year. BREEDER’S AWARD and HORTICULTURE AWARD PROGRAMS: members can receive recognition for spawning species of fish or propagating aquatic plants. All that is required is to turn in a minimum of six fry from the spawn that are between 30 and 90 days old. Members earn certificates for each species and can work towards plaques in different categories. LIBRARY: At the library table are a number of books and other publications covering all areas of the aquarium hobby. Mem- bers may borrow the books for a month at a time. Also each month several books are raffled off. EQUIPMENT RAFFLE: The raffle table has such items as tanks, fish food and aquarium accessories that are donated by national manufacturers, area dealers or purchased by the Society. Tickets may be purchased by anyone attending the meeting. Save your losing tickets for the Christmas Party raffle. ANNUAL SHOW: The Ultra-Aqua show is held during the summer at the Tallmadge community Center. This has become one of the largest all-species tropical fish shows in North America. It is an international gathering of hobbyists to display their fish in class competition, talk fish and to learn about the hobby from each other.

E. M. COSTA Laboratório de Ictiologia Geral e Aplicada, Departamento de Zoologia, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Caixa Postal 68049, CEP 21944-970, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil E-mail: wcosta(at)acd.ufrj.br Received on May 5, 2008, accepted on October 6, 2008. Published online at www.vertebrate-zoology.de on May 15, 2009. > Abstract Osteological structures of Callopanchax are fi rst described and illustrated. Twenty-six characters derived from comparisons of osseous structures among some aplocheiloid fi shes provided evidence supporting hypotheses of relationships among three western African genera (Callopanchax, Scriptaphyosemion and Archiaphyosemion), as proposed in recent molecular analysis. The clade comprising Callopanchax, Scriptaphyosemion and Archiaphyosemion is supported by a laterally displaced antero-proximal process of the fourth ceratobranchial. The sister group relationship between Callopanchax and Scriptaphyosemion is supported by a constriction on the posterior portion of the parasphenoid, an anterior expansion of the hyomandibula, a rectangular basihyal cartilage, an anterior pointed process on the fi rst vertebra, and a long ventrally directed hemal prezygapophysis on the preural centrum 2. Monophyly of Callopanchax is supported by a convexity on the dorsal margin of the opercle, a long interarcual cartilage, and long neural prezygapophyses on the anterior caudal vertebrae. > Key words Killifi shes, Callopanchax, Africa, Osteology, Annual fi shes.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Aphyosemion teugelsi is described from specimens collected in a small creek in the upper Wamba River basin in the southwest of the Democratic Republic of the Congo not far from the Angolan border. This is ~400 km outside the known distribution area of the genus. It is distinguished from all other members of the genus Aphyosemion by the combination of broad black margins on all fins in males, a robust lower jaw, a more convex back, a large head with large eyes, a more anterior position of the dorsal fin relative to anal fin, and absence of extensions on the upper and lower caudal fin. Key words: Congo basin, Kwango province, killifish, systematics, taxonomy Resumé Aphyosemion teugelsi est décrit à partir de spécimens récoltés dans une petite crique du bassin de la haute Wamba, sud- ouest de la République Démocratique du Congo, non loin de la frontière angolaise. Ceci est de l'ordre de 400km en dehors de la zone de distribution connue pour le genre.

Part I of the ichthyological type catalogue of the ZSM (Neumann 2006) reviewed the historic “Old Collection”, of which types were apparently lost in the Second World War. Part II refers to type material physically available in ZSM, including historic types saved and re-inventoried. Rebuilding the ichthyological collection after the war, Otto Schindler received with the so-called “Kähsbauer Donations” historic fish specimens from the Naturhistorisches Museum Wien (NMW). Among them are types from the Natterer and Thayer expeditions to Brazil, from the Hase- man expeditions to South America and from Steindachner’s late Brazil expedition in 1903. As far as possible, exchanged specimens were critically reviewed, traced to original lots and compared with NMW acquisition entries for unambiguous identification. Additional historic type material was recovered from the “Zoologi- sche Präparatesammlung der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München” (ZPLMU), i.

Published online at www.senckenberg.de/vertebrate-zoology on 29.viii.2013. Abstract A new species of Aphyosemion is described from Gabon, based on ten specimens collected in a small stream belonging to the hydrographic system of the Ikoy River on the northwestern edge of the Massif du Chaillu. Aphyosemion grelli is distinguished from all congeners by possessing a unique colour pattern of the unpaired and pelvic fins in the female consisting of the combination of a yellow basal portion and greyish to dark grey broad margin. Males of the new species share the black margins of the unpaired fins with A. congicum, A. labarrei, A. ocellatum, A. passaroi, and A. teugelsi, but differ from these by the combination of colouration characters and morphology. Phylogenetic relationships of the new species are still unclear; a possible close relationship with the A. coeleste group is tentatively excluded because, although geographically close, there are differences on flank colour pattern, head length and number of anal-fin rays. Key words Killifish, Africa, Ikoy River, Ikobey, systematics, taxonomy, biogeography.

  • AG- Chromaphyosemion Mai 2000
    AG- Chromaphyosemion Mai 2000 Liebe Freunde der AG - Chromaphyosemion ! In wenigen Tagen veranstalten wir unsere Leistungsschau der DKG in Hamburg. Ich hoffe, dass ich dort wie in Dresden viele Mitglieder begrüßen kann. Ich werde ab Donnerstag dort anwesend sein. Unser AG - Treffen habe ich, wie in den Vorjahren, auf Samstag, den 03.06.2000 um 13.00 Uhr festgelegt um auch Mitglieder die Teilnahme zu ermöglichen, die nur am Wochenende anreisen, Treffpunkt ist vor dem Vortragsraum Tagungsordnung: 1. Portokasse 2. Artenbestandsliste 3. AG - Leiter 4. Erfahrungsaustausch über Chromaphyosemion ( altes und neues ) 5. DKG - Steckbriefe 6. Verschiedenes Ich werde meine Dias und meinen Diaprojektor mitnehmen. Vielleicht kann noch jemand von Euch Dias von Chromaphyosemion mitbringen. Rainer Sonnenberg war Anfang des Jahres in Kamerun und hat reichlich Fische für seine Arbeit gesammelt. An lebenden Chromaphyosemion hat er nur einige mitgebracht, die Werner Eigelshofen versucht, durch Zucht zu vermehren. Möglicherweise kann Werner uns auf unserem Treffen hierzu berichten. Da Rainer Sonnenberg auch in Hamburg ist, wird er bestimmt einiges von seiner Reise beitragen können. Unsere AG- Steckbriefe hat Werner Eigelshofen ergänzt und sind bei ihm zu bestellen. Nach seiner Auskunft bestand von Seiten der Mitglieder wenig Interesse an den Steckbriefen. DKG – Steckbriefe habe ich noch mal als Punkt auf der Tagesordnung gesetzt. Ich bin der Meinung, dass hier einiges ergänzt und erneuert werden muss. Henrik Korzen aus Dänemark, von der SKS Literaturstelle, bringt mir Kopien von Berichten über Chromaphyosemion aus alter Literatur nach Hamburg mit. Ich werde für die Kosten aufkommen und im nächsten Rundschreiben darüber berichten. Im Februar wurde die Arbeit über Chromaphyosemion von Rainer Sonnenberg veröffentlicht.

  • Evolution, Ecology and Physiology of Amphibious Killifishes (Cyprinodontiformes)
    Journal of Fish Biology (2015) 87, 815–835 doi:10.1111/jfb.12758, available online at wileyonlinelibrary.com REVIEW PAPER Evolution, ecology and physiology of amphibious killifishes (Cyprinodontiformes) A. J. Turko* and P. A. Wright Department of Integrative Biology, University of Guelph, 488 Gordon Street, Guelph, ON, N1G 2W1, Canada (Received 13 November 2013, Accepted 24 June 2015) The order Cyprinodontiformes contains an exceptional diversity of amphibious taxa, including at least 34 species from six families. These cyprinodontiforms often inhabit intertidal or ephemeral habitats characterized by low dissolved oxygen or otherwise poor water quality, conditions that have been hypothesized to drive the evolution of terrestriality. Most of the amphibious species are found in the Rivulidae, Nothobranchiidae and Fundulidae. It is currently unclear whether the pattern of amphibi- ousness observed in the Cyprinodontiformes is the result of repeated, independent evolutions, or stems from an amphibious common ancestor. Amphibious cyprinodontiforms leave water for a variety of reasons: some species emerse only briefly, to escape predation or capture prey, while others occupy ephemeral habitats by living for months at a time out of water. Fishes able to tolerate months of emer- sion must maintain respiratory gas exchange, nitrogen excretion and water and salt balance, but to date knowledge of the mechanisms that facilitate homeostasis on land is largely restricted to model species. This review synthesizes the available literature describing amphibious lifestyles in cyprinodontiforms, compares the behavioural and physiological strategies used to exploit the terrestrial environment and suggests directions and ideas for future research. © 2015 The Fisheries Society of the British Isles Key words: Fundulus; Kryptolebias; mangrove rivulus; mummichog; terrestriality.
