Synopsis

This exciting new book takes each of the exotically named major fish groups, explains simply what they are, and looks at the general merits, demerits, habitats, feeding and breeding requirements of the many hundreds of fishes in each group. In this way, the reader can quickly ascertain whether the cichlid they want is suitable for their aquarium, and if it isn't, which other cichlids would be. Beautiful photography and expert text combine to offer an in-depth study of the major fish groups, a helpful species identifier, plus plenty of practical information on how to keep and breed the most popular species in each group successfully.
