Follow-up on: Notes on a Supplement to C.H. Peters’ “Life and Love in the Aquarium”

In the May 2024 MOAPH release, issue number 21 (December 1987) of the Collectors of Aquarium Literature [CAL] was presented. This magazine, edited by Dave Hopp and Paul Harvey, is an invaluable resource on its stated topic and MOAPH is to be applauded for presenting, monthly, the entire run of this publication. There are numerous issues of CAL yet to come on this site so stay tuned.

In issue 21 I had an article as noted in the in quotes title above and am taking this opportunity to make some brief comments regarding it. I thank MOAPH for providing me with the space to do this.

You will note in the title of the original presentation of the article that the incorrect word “Live” was used instead of the word “Love”. I had prepared the article as copy ready and that was my bad. So much for my good proof reading. At least I got it correct on the first line of the article.

What follows is a copy of the original article as it appeared in CAL followed by scans of the noted supplement which was not included therein. I am including the article to save any interested party from having to jump back and forth to read a completed piece. In the published issue a copy of the supplement was attached below the article. The absence of it in the scanned copy could be attributed to a couple of reasons: 1. The article was attached using some of the (now I guess) old-fashioned triangular sticky back holders that were used to put photos in what is now known as an “old fashioned” paper-based album. Depending on your age you may, or may not, be familiar with these. In any case, the sticky part may fail, and the attached piece is then on its own; and 2. The supplement may have been removed and inserted into a copy of the book as was its intended purpose.

With the above in place I now offer a completed version of the article and supplement.
