5 stars. Great Aquarium Fish Atlas
I believe this is a must for aquarium enthusiasts. Full of noteworthy information, and yet easy to understand and locate different subspecies of fish. I believe its a MUST!
|
5 stars. Great Expansion to an Excellent Series
The Aquarium Atlas series is one of the best if not the best line of books for fish enthusiasts, especially if you are interested in some of the less common fish.
br /
br /This book follows the example set by the first volume (what most of the other reviews here are referring to) in providing detailed information in everything from recommended tank setups, breeding information and water/food requirements.
br /
br /Keep in mind though, many of the fish in this volume are very hard to find in most pet stores, so if you are looking for more common fish - go with volume 1 instead, you won't be disappointed in either way.

5 stars. best aquarium book
This is the best book about fish and plant species that I know. Good stats and very extensive book every way. Pictures are good or at least ok.
|
4 stars. Good
A really nice reference with lots of useful stats.
|
4 stars. Very comprehensive and stylish atlas
Anyone looking for a handy reference for freshwater aquarium fish would do well to buy this book. Its small size aids in its active usage, and its index of common and scientific names helps in locating the species you are curious about. It has good pictures and descriptions for all the fish contained within, and you would do well to follow the indications given, as in many cases one is hard-pressed to find any alternate sources of information on rare fish. pFor the most part, the translation from German is without error. It is understandable in all cases, slightly awkward in a few. However, there are certain instances where data is incorrect, or pictures switched or missing. These are few, but notably occur with the Siamese Algae Eater and Corydoras julii entries, where there is an incorrect and missing picture, respectively.pOverall, a great fishkeeping resource.
