Cichlids have been favorite aquarium fishes for almost a century. 'Discus', 'Angels', 'Kribs', and 'Rams' are well-known cichlids, which are often kept with non-cichlids in a community aquarium, although they are best maintained in a special tank. Cichlid keeping experienced a huge increase in popularity soon after the first species were exported from Africa's rift lakes; these fishes, with their gorgeous colors, were so different from those kept previously that they stole the hearts of aquarists all over the world. Following the advent of rift lake cichlids their Neotropical cousins also received increased attention from hobbyists. Aquarium clubs specializing in cichlids have been formed in many countries and information about these wonderful creatures is spread via numerous magazines. Every year cichlids fascinate more and more aquarists with their splendid coloration and interesting behavior. During the past decades, aquarists as well as scientists have studied cichlids in their native waters, discovering a wealth of information about their natural behavior. This knowledge, together with that derived from many years of keeping and breeding these fishes, has proved to be of vital importance to successful cichlid keeping, and is here brought together in a single volume. This book has been written by 12 authors, each of them a specialist for many years in his or her field, and is the distillation of a total of more than 300 years experience in keeping cichlids. The result is an invaluable guide to the essentials of enjoying cichlids.

The Aquarium Fish Handbook

This text presents a practical guide to setting up an aquarium (both freshwater and marine) in the reader's own home. It covers all aspects, from choosing, stocking and maintaining the aquarium, to fish care, health, nutrition and breeding. The book uses pictures supported by fact/interest panels and a running text which uses the analogy of an imaginary river which encompasses all the different habitats and evironments various fish species require - this is continually compared to the artificial environment of the home aquarium. The chapters focus on information such as: the geography of the river and its various stages, its fish and vegetation; geology, water chemistry, filtration, temperature and lighting; the basics of planning an aquarium, such as siting and equipment; setting up an aquarium; maintaining the aquarium, feeding and caring for the fish, diseases and remedies; basic principles of breeding and rearing; a basic directory of major fish groups; and information of biotope aquariums - looking at very specific environments required by different fish species. The text aims to be of interest to both beginners keen to set up their first aquarium, and more advanced aquarists who are interested in more complicated fishkeeping.
