About the Cover
The colorful fish on this month's cover is a notho, a killifish in the genus Nothobranchius. Its full designation is Nothobranchius rachovii Beira Airport MZCS 0896. To a killie aficionado, that mouthful tells where and when the population was collected for the hobby, and that's very important information to conservation-minded hobbyists. In this special killie issue, you can learn about these beautiful but very unusual fish and how you can get started keeping and breeding them.

Tip of the Month:
That some fish, like snakeheads of the genus Channa, can drown? Some species are so dependent on breathing air to supplement their gill respiration that if they are prevented from reaching the surface of the water, they will die from lack of oxygen.
