The members of the C hicago Fish Fan- 

 ciers Chib extend their hearty greetings to 

 the members of the eastern chibs in this, the 

 first issue of our united efforts. We sin- 

 cerely hope that this magazine will create 

 and maintain a fraternal feeling between 

 the members of the several clubs, both col- 

 lectively and individually, and we, as indi- 

 viduals, solicit correspondence with our 

 eastern brothers. It will be a pleasure for 

 us to exchange with members in the east 

 by sending native species from our streams 

 or exotic varieties raised by our members. 

 Chicago Fish Fanciers Club 



Per F. S.Young, President 



The east sends its greetings to the 

 west. Brooklyn. New York and Philadel- 

 phia greet Chicago and hope to co-oi)erate 

 in all matters. 



Stock your aquarium well with plants. 

 Be sparing of tlie number of fishes you 

 put in. 



It is better to have too few than too 

 many fishes in your aqnarimn. 



If you have a friend anywhere whose 

 eyes are open to the uni\trsf about him. 

 nothing will give him more ])leasure than 

 to kee]) an a(]uarium. Send him a copy 

 of the a<]Uariuni nsagazine and get him to 

 subscribe.
