Cirrhilabrus-fan
Dear Mr. Bob Fenner,
<Yosh!>
My name is Hiroyuki Tanaka, a long-time marine aquarist.
<Pleased to meet you>
I saw your web for the first time and I was impressed with the part of photos and comments for Cirrhilabrus and Paracheilinus.
That are one of my most favorites. I actually am writing a book on three genera including these with Conniella. Then I now have over 600 photos of every species, including the undescribed sent by many friends all over the world. I hope that the book would be out in 2004-5.
<Sounds very good. Are you familiar with the ten volume series Rudie Kuiter and Helmut Debelius are producing through Tropic Marine Centre... a couple are to cover the popular Labrid genera. You can get an idea of what these might be/cover here: www.tmc-ltd.co.uk>
Well let me correct and add some things in the web.
1 Cirrhilabrus part.
It comprises 40 species at present and one would be added so soon; it is from Coral Sea and will be described by Randall and Nagareda. C. solorensis is a valid one now.
<Yes, saw this in a paper this last week>
C. filamentosus photo is shown in your C. rubriventralis part, on the right photo.
<Thank you for this correction>
Photo of C. cyanopleura is shown as C. rubripinnis.
<And this one!>
Who took photo of C. blatteus shown there? Yours? 
<Yes>
It is very good. I hope to get such photographs in my book. 
<You are welcome to use my photographs my friend. Let me know what sort of output/scans I can supply you. Most all current ones are 300 dpi tiffs, at 2.3 megs each>
It is one of the rarest seen by ordinary divers. Jack, Rudie and Helmut have some shots but if you are OK I hope to borrow this excellent one.
<You're welcome to it>
Also the shot of C. exquisitus from Fiji is great. I have only one from there by Rudie and yours is so nice.
2 Paracheilinus part
13 species is recognized at present.
Genus Paracheilinus

L piscilineatus (Cornic,1987) w.Mauritius Elegant FW, Fairy FW
M togeanensis Kuiter & Allen,1999 Lembeh Str. Togean FW
'P.dispilus' is really not a member of Paracheilinus.

The female shown as P. carpenteri seems a member of Cirrhilabrus;

I cannot tell it exactly, an interesting fish.
<Really? Honto des? Will check>
I hope to exchange photos I have if you like; some of the photos are taken by my friends. I can send C. aurantidorsalis, flavidorsalis, tonozukai, etc. soon.
<Ahh, great>
I hope you to reply to my inquiry, and I will greatly appreciate you when you kindly send me photos.
<Will do so. Again, please make it known if the current scan size, type is okay. Bob Fenner>
Best Wishes,
Hiroyuki
