Aquatic-Terrors would like to extend to the members of its newest affiliate (FreshWaterMadness) the opportunity to participate in our current free raffle. Up for grabs this quarter is a copy of the Aqualog "Loricariidae, All L-Numbers" book by Erwin Schraml and Frank Schafer, retail value $109.99. Unlike some other sites, raffles at Aquatic-Terrors don't cost you a thing to enter, we view them as a way of showing our appreciation to our members....and sometimes, as in this case, the members of our affiliated sites!

In order for this to work, anyone selecting a number must first be a registered member and/or register for membership at Aquatic-Terrors. After that, we require our members to have a minimum post count of at least 50 to be eligible for a raffle number....in this case, though, a post count on FreshWaterMadness of at least 50 will qualify you as well!! When requesting your number, please state that you have "x" amount of posts on this site, upon verification your number will be assigned.

Yes. Yes I did. It's pure awesome and pure evil all at the same time.

Did you ever get those books as a kid where you bought packs of stickers to fill in all the pictures? This is my first Aqualog book and seriously that's the very first thing I thought of. The last dozen or so pages are reserved to collect stickers to fill out any more plecos that are discovered.

Also. it's volume 24. There's a big 24 on the spine of the book. It *taunts* me since I know how much it would cost to at least get from 1 on up so they were all in nice order on my bookshelf.

The contents of the book are really quite impressively nice. I have some other fish id books, but the pictures were all fairly clinical. I find it easier to id fish from pictures if the fish in the picture is in a more natural state. Granted the odds of me seeing even a fraction of these guys out there is pretty slim. Given the way the L numbers were done, I always knew that there were a lot of plecos out there, but I don't think I was prepared for just how many there are specifically.

Special bonus with this book is most of the plecos in the book have a picture top down, and suckers on the glass. Really getting the detail of the mouth and all too. There were hardly any drawings at all, that I noticed which is another pet peeve of mine, I want pictures damn it.

All in all, I knew diddly about Aqualog books going into it. The price is a little steep, from what I saw looking at other volumes on Amazon, but at least with this book the quality is there. (I don't want to speak for other volumes, since I haven't seen them)

How does that work, saint? Do you have to register yourself as owner of the book to receive these stickers?

No. Seems like they just ship them out with the Aqualog magazine, if you subscribe to it.

The back of the book has 6 pages at the end that are just templates for more pictures, and it says something about keeping up to date, subscribe to aqualog for updated stickers and more..

I haven't had a chance to look into it much more that that currently. Part of that being my somewhat poor impulse control as far as buying books go. Smile
