A Little More About Hans

Hans – Georg Evers (60) lives in Hamburg, Germany and since his very early days an aquarist by heart. His main interests are catfish, mainly the Corydoradinae and Loricariidae, followed by rainbowfish, characins and all other imaginable freshwater fishes and shrimps. Hans is a busy traveler and photographer, speaks several languages and has visited many tropical countries worldwide, mainly South America, Asia and 15 trips to New Guinea. On his journeys he discovered many new and scientifically undescribed fish species, in recent years mainly rainbowfish. He gives quite vivid lectures about his passion all over the globe.

He has published 15 books, hundreds of articles and co-authored several scientific papers. The Sulawesi Rice fish Oryzias eversi and the South American catfish Hoplisoma eversi are named after him. From 2005 until 2018 he was the chief editor of the international aquarium magazine AMAZONAS and still works as an editor-in-large for the American version.

Only recently he published an “Identification Guide for Corydoradinae” together with senior author and friend Ian Fuller.

Hans Evers simply loves fish – 24/7 – all year round!
