We here at Advanced Aquarist are big fans of CORAL magazine, so it is with great excitement we announce that their sister magazine AMAZONAS will soon premiere their new English edition.  AMAZONAS is a freshwater aquarium magazine.  The magazine has actually been in publication for seven years but only available in Germany, hence its relative obscurity in foreign markets.

This all changes in 2012!

AMAZONAS will debut their English edition with the January/February 2012 issue.  A brief introduction:

AMAZONAS is one of the world’s legendary freshwater aquarium magazines, read by tens of thousands of tropical fish enthusiasts and now available for the first time in English.

New species discoveries, awesome aquarium profiles, breeding breakthroughs, tropical nature, hands-on advice and secrets to keeping a thriving, stunningly beautiful freshwater aquarium are the focus of every sumptuously printed issue.

Written by experts and illustrated with breathtaking color images, AMAZONAS is a must read for the adventuresome freshwater aquarist—a constant source of new ideas, cutting edge information and inspiration.

Here are weblinks to explore AMAZONAS for yourself.

Click on the cover image on their new website’s home page and see the prototype digital edition (very snazzy!).  They will also be giving away free subscriptions throughout the day to randomly selected people who “like” AMAZONAS’ Facebook page and follow their twitter account.

For those who don’t win free subscriptions, AMAZONAS offers charter subscriptions for $29.00 USD (40% off newsstand price).  The subscription also includes access to their digital edition to read AMAZONAS on the go. The first issue will land in mailboxes and hit the stands shortly.  USA freshwater aquarists can purchase their copies at Barnes & Noble.
