This book has 320 color photos. There is no other group of aquarium fishes which has evoked such a passion among hobbyists as Tanganyikan cichlids have. For many an aquarist they represent a life-long addiction to keeping, breeding and, most of all, observing these interesting fishes. Why is this? The answer is easy: Tanganyika cichlids are the most interesting aquarium fishes known today. They provide hobbyists with a combination of attractive fishes, interesting behaviour, and easy maintenance, with the added benefit that the sale of their offspring can sometimes cover most of the cost of keeping them. 
This guide provides an overview of the species currently available and some basic information on how to keep them in the most natural way.

African catfishes are a particularly diverse group of fishes. However, only a few of them have gained a permanent place in the aquarium hobby, a major reason being that they are only inadequately known and have to date been imported only in limited numbers. This book should at least alleviate the first of these problems and demonstrate just how varied and interesting African catfishes are. And perhaps then they will be imported more frequently. This book is, as far as is known, the first to present an overview of the entire African catfish group, and many of the photos illustrate the species in question for the very first time. By no means all African catfishes are known to science either, while others may be known but are not yet described. In addition it has only recently become apparent what interesting behavior is displayed by numerous catfish species; and it was in fact aquarists who, for example, discovered the remarkable reproductive behavior of the cuckoo catfish and mouth brooding in several other Tanganyika catfishes. This is an area where serious aquarists have a role to play and can break new ground. And perhaps this book can be of assistance there too. This book is the most complete and up-to-date work available. All known African Catfishes are illustrated with over 460 color photos, 370 drawings, 160 maps, and 604 pages it is the ultimate encyclopedia on African Catfishes. It is of great help to scientists and hobbyists alike.

Product Description THIS THREE-VOLUME work about a family of frogs in the New World is a very unusual book to be published in this field. With its gripping accounts of the author's travels, it covers a large variety of themes. Although the book was originally meant for the small circle of people interested in poison tree-frogs (poison-dart frogs), it unexpectedly became a detailed report - directly from the rain forests - on the problems of environmental protection in the Andes countries, on the efforts of the law-makers in the fields of climate, nature, and species protection, and why these efforts will not result in effective protection. And, finally, the 1950+ color photos make these three volumes a standard work, of historical significance. These photographs, taken over a period of 30 years, show areas of primeval forest in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru, which now exist only in the author's memory. Soft cover, 622 pages in total, large format 12 x 8 1/2 x 2 1/4 inches in total. (3 VOLUME SET). About the Author Everything about him is unusual: His age when publishing this book - starting the six years that it took him to write this book at the age of 70; his subject, as well as the way in which it is discussed at many levels - all of this, in a book which was unusually expensive to produce, for the pleasure of a small group of enthusiasts. The author is sure to suffer the fate of an outsider, one who puts his foot in it, who thinks differently - in a way which does not conform to the usual pattern - and who asks awkward questions. He will have to live with the consequences, but that is not unusual for him!

Catfishes are the most popular group of ornamental fishes available today, ask any aquarist, retailer, wholesaler, importer, and exporter. Almost every aquarium community has its resident species. In nature catfishes thrive in torrential waterfalls, large lakes, thundering rivers, and quiet streams. They are mostly nocturnal, secretive, mysterious animals, and this factor certainly makes them attractive to hobbyists. Another factor behind their success is the wonderful multitude of sizes, shapes, and forms found throughout the world. In captivity most catfishes are adaptable to water conditions and they usually prove extremely resilient against diseases. This up-to-date guide provides an overview to species currently available and includes basic information on how to maintain them in captivity. With over 280 beautiful color photos.
