I didn't think about this one.  BTW, Dupla is owned by Red Sea now.  The last I heard from my distributor, all the dupla stuff was on clearance.  I think they're going to be marketing some of the products under the Red Sea name.

However the principals are there and it is one of the most informative reads I have done.The English addition is long out of print but, if you ever find it, SNAG it.Dupla no longer has the market cornered on advanced 
aquarium systems. So you can certainly use their descriptions to develop your own models. In 1987 ish it was revolutionary. Today they are still trying to catch up with what they did 20 years ago.Water chemistry, Plants, studies on Asian streams biotopes. Heck there are even photos of killies in there as I recall. I think salted dried Apl. Panchax.I will emphasize that its primary directive is in developing aquatic ecosystems. (The optimum planted aquarium-Dutch aquarium) However there is a LOT to learn in this book. It certainly is a thought provoking work.Once you get thinking. Who knows how you can adapt it to Killies. I certainly have! Especially in Black water killies.God Bless, Lee Van Hyfte 

Hello Everyone,
I have one more little "classic" aquarium/fish breeding book that is a gem of a find if you should ever run across it. "Breeding Aquarium Fishes", published by the now long defunct, Aquarium Stock Company, 1961.
A collection of breeding "recipes" translated from German to English.
Full of useful info that never goes out of date. The attention to details is amazing that these pioneering breeders took to spawn fish over 75 years ago that we still consider "difficult" fishes to breed, incuding many killifish.
Regards,
Larry Waybright
