Editorial review: The cichlid is an increasingly popular fish among aquarium hobbyists, and the hundreds of Lake Tanganyikan varieties are considered by many to be the best of all. This book discusses all aspects of cichlid care, including best tank size, filtration, heating, lighting, water quality, and even breeding.

4 stars. nice
I was interested in starting a cichid tank and this book was very helpful. fill with good tips and ideas. I would have like more photos. I decided after reading the book that cichids where too hard for be to handle due to the size of tank needed and a small amount of fish one can have. I have a discus tank instead

4 stars. Tanganyika Cichlids
I am new with African Cichlids and it explains in detail Species of Lake tanganyika, It is a very good book for people starting with cichlids.

4 stars. Good assessment concerning many aspects of these fishes
Barrons in general, does a great job in presenting thier information in a concise and clear manner. Even beginners will have no problem following along in this 'pocket reference' publication. Do not let the price or size of the book sway you. It is packed with all of the pertenent information. Tanganikan cichlids are wonderful fishes and barrons does an excellent job of intoducing all of the husbandry techniques needed to keep these fish happy and healthy. One drawback is that more experienced aquarists or ichthyologists might find the book lacking in some of the detailed areas. Although overall, you pretty much can't go wrong when purchasing this book

5 stars. Good overall info. Great pictures!
Mr. Smith covered all the bases with this book. From giving an educational step by step way to set up and maintain an African cichlid tank. he offers good quality pictures of a wide variety of fish with a very informational care and breeding for each fish. I recommend this book to all interested in keeping these fish.
