Shrimps, Crayfishes, and Crabs in the Freshwater Aquarium (AQUALOG Special)

338 excellent photos of African catfishes - all photos are separately availabe on the accompanying CD-ROM! Photo Collection is a unique pictorial volume which portrays the entire spectrum of the groups of fishes it covers. It makes it easy and unproblemmatical to identify your fishes by their external characteristics, their form and coloration. The groupings used in this series correspond to those normally used in the international trade as categories in stock lists. They are not of taxonomic significance. Some fishes belong to a particular taxonomic group, but are more like members of another group in appearance. For this reason we have generally based our groupings on the appearance of the fishes, so that the reader can easily locate them in the books. In the text beneath each photo you will find the individual code number, the currently valid scientific name, the common name most frequently used internationally, the range/origin of the species in question, as well as all of its characteristics and maintenance requirements. All the fish photos are stored in JPEG format on the CD accompanying the book, and can thus be viewed using practically any off-the-shelf PC program designed to permit viewing of graphics files. No previously existing aquaristic literature offers you these fantastic possibilities. Photo Collection is the ideal handbook for everyone, from the collector in the jungle to the hobbyist. It is planned to expand the series on a regular basis. Each Photo Collection is released in 3 editions with 5 languages each: Version A: D/J/CZ/TR/H Version B: GB/NL/S/DK/FIN Version C: F/E/I/P/CHI The ISBN number mentioned here is for Version B.

THE AQUALOG TROPHEUS FOLD POSTER IS INCLUDED IN THIS BOOK. 
 Lake Tanganyika, situated in the heart of Africa, is one of the most fascinating bodies of water in the world. It is also one of the largest, as well as deepest, freshwater lakes to be found on Earth. 
In numerical terms the cichlids (family Cichlidae), dominate Lake Tanganyika, in regards of both, species and numbers. One of the peculiarities of the genus Tropheus, found only in Lake Tanganyika, is that these extremely specialized fishes are unable to cross large areas where there are no aggregations of rocks. 
These rock formations form their particular habitat. As a result, these cichlids have evolved in distinct variants, easily distinguished by their coloration, in practically every rocky zone. Because coloration plays a major role in the courtship of these cichlids, they are often incredibly colorful. 
All the color variants known to date - more than 120, including the newest discoveries never before pictured in print ? are here for the first time portrayed in words and photos in a single book. In the course of more than 10 years of intensive involvement with these fishes, the author Peter Schupke has compiled all the information available on these spectacularly attractive Tropheus. The most recent research using the latest scientific methods, such as DNA analysis, has been included. 
The aquarist is provided with all the information required for the successful maintenance and breeding of these fishes in captivity. Aquarists and scientists alike will find in this Aqualog a unique work of reference, which like all Aqualog lexica, can be kept up to date over the years to come by means of the supplements. Hardcover, 190 pages, over 300 photos plus 150 drawings. THE AQUALOG TROPHEUS FOLD POSTER IS INCLUDED IN THIS BOOK.

The Asian Arowanas (Scleropages sp.) belong to the most fascinating fish of the World. Due to their brilliant colors, their large scales, their swimming pattern and their large fins, they remind us of the ancient and mythological Dragons! Keeping these Dragon fishes at home brings luck and fits perfectly to the philosophy of Feng Shui. However, some wild populations of Dragon fishes are threatened by extinction and all are therefore listed on Appendix 1 of CITES. Thus only captive bred specimens are open for the trade. 
This book reflects the actual status quo of the captive bred Asian Arowana population, with well over 500 fascinating and brilliant color photographs. Everything you need to know, wanted to know or should now about those fascinating creatures is in this book! Separated in chapters about Arowana breeding farms, reports (with photos) of true international Arowana fans, all the different color patterns in photos, breeding reports, feeding, other fish that can be kept with the Dragon, diseases and cures, water parameters, how to obtain a CITES permit, really everything you need to know about the Dragon fish! The ultimate Arowana reference book!!
