5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Book for Any Aquarist, Sep 30 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Aquarium Atlas (Paperback)

This is a wonderful and consise guide to the amazing variety of tropical fresh water fish. The photographs are clear and descriptions of the various species are informative and helpful. This is the only book I've found helped me identify a previously purchased fish that had been wrongly identified. Information on various plants and diseases are very helpful as well. Everyone with a freshwater aquarium needs this book!

4.0 out of 5 stars Overall, a good identification book for aquarists, Dec 30 2000

This review is from: Aquarium Atlas: Volume 1 (Hardcover)

This is a very nice book-good quality, nice pictures, etc.-, but lacks somewhat in its valid identifications of certain fishes. For most species covered it is an excellent all around reference book. There is some excellent detail given in some portions to specific breeding, behavioral data, and general husbandry information that will prove very important. Some species however, are not identified correctly. Most of the fishes that I encountered in the book that had been mislabled were mainly rarer fish in the aquarium trade. So, these flaws probably won't affect you, but beware. If you are looking for a good informational book on freshwater aquarium fishes this is an excellent book to purchase, although I would definately suggest buying all volumes in the 'Aquarium Atlas' series.
