I have the whole set in English... It ran from 1/85 through 4/88, 4 issues a 
year.  There were also nice binders available for them, and the whole 
collection fits in two.  You are right, there is a wealth of information in 
the magazines that is still useful this many years later.  I still refer to 
them from time to time.  If anyone ever gets the opportunity to pick up a 
set, or even just a few, they should jump at the opportunity!!!

After that, Kaspar decided there was not enough interest in the English 
version, and he stopped publishing it that way.  I tried a number of times 
to change his mind, but was unsuccessful :-(  Aquarium Heute continued to be 
published in German up through at least 2000.  (I wrote a few articles for 
them)  Around that time, Kaspar sold the company.  I don't know whether it 
is still being published... if it is, I have been dropped from the mailing 
list.  I talked to Kaspar last 2 years ago, and he was very much enjoying 
retirement, though still keeping pretty busy.

Even the German edition was pretty useful with the advent of OCR and the 
translation engines available on the internet.  I miss it.
