INFORMATION REQUESTS OR REQUESTS FOR ASSISTANCE
**********************************************************
ASSISTANCE NEEDED FOR GREEN GOODEIDS-EXTINCT IN THE WILD.
Ray Ravary, 1940 Whittier, Ypsilanti, MI, 48197-1729.
Telephone #: (734) 483-2360. Email: rravary at provide_net.
I am a past member of NANFA. I had to suspend my membership due to
finances(a bloody divorce and three youngsters I want to do right by). A
year ago I bought some Green Goodieds (Xenoophorus captivus), and have
had some sucess in breeding them. These fish are supposedly extinct in
the wild, and species maintanence is very important. I would like to see
if you would allow me to run an ad so we can spread this species about
the country, minimizing the chance of its disappearance. The fish was
collected in Mexico by Professor Miller of the University of Michigan
(yes, that Dr. Miller) in the 1960's. It is found in the Detroit area
due to the efforts of Jim Langhammer and the Belle Isle Aquarium. While
it isn't rampant in the Detroit area, it pops up now and then at a club
auction. I would be glad to trade for other fish or to donate to any
scientific or educational institution for shipping expenses. (03/98)
