5 stars. I love it
I now have this book in English and in Spanish. This is a great book for identifying freshwater fish. The pictures are amazing. I really love this book. I am a newspaper reporter...when meetings I cover get boring this book provides hours of entertainment for me. I love both of them.
br / The book in Spanish allows me to brush up on my Spanish. I am so happy that I have them. They are my favorite books of all time. Dr. Axelrod's knowledge of fish is tremendous. I highly recommend Dr. Axelrod's Mini-Atlas of Freshwater Aquarium Fishes to everyone who has at least one aquarium and loves fish.
br / I was able to identify my Synodontis Petricola catfish because of this book. Pet store employees often don't have the knowledge they need to sell fish. Now that I have this book I can identify fish in a pet store before I buy them. I also learned how to make my live plants thrive. My 75 gallon aquarium is beautiful...this book will help me keep it that way.

5 stars. Axelrod's Mini-Atlas a real find!
This is an amazing catalogue and description of fresh water aquarium fish. I have kept fish--salt water and fresh water--for over 40 years and still found new informative and interesting information in Axelrod's Atlas. It would have been one step better if the sexes of the fish were better identified in the pictures but thats getting pretty picky and all in all the book is a bargain in price and information.

4 stars. A usefull tool in the aquarist library
The bulk book is just hundreds of photographs of fish fallowed by basic information about the fish therein. It is organized by fish family as many things are in the aquarium hobby. The book has three Indexes, fish alphabetized by scientific name, fish alphabetized by common name, and an index for the text portion of the book, and I think that is brilliant. The photos are a tiny bit grainy however the photos are taken in such a way that the fish in the picture are very detailed, and you could easily use this book to identify an unknown fish. There is information about many common plants, the book also has short basic sections about health, breeding, maintenance, equipment, the stuff that is in most fish books, etc. My one major complaint is I wish there was more information about each individual fish such as sexual dimorphism, water chemistry, and breeding, also the common names are not with the photos only the scientific names are so they must be cross-referenced in the index. I think many people have given this book a bad review simply because it comes so highly recommended that people expect it to be allot more than it is. its no holy grail of the fish books, far from it, but I think for what it is it does good.
