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

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
