This is the book that allways are on my nighttable,its just fantastic,if you are in to livebearers this book is a must,never mind the price,it is worth every dollar.
To be honest,i am so satisfied with this book,i have two copies,one in the fishhouse,and one on the nighttable.

I think this is the best book about Livebearers and Halfbeaks. Probably you have a book about guppys, or you have a book about mollys, but I believe you never saw so many Livebearers and Halfbeaks at one time and in just "a" book. The best reference book great help you to recognize guppys, mollys, and other Livebearers and Halfbeaks. It's useful for someone who like these kinds fish.

I got the book from Amazon.com and it was indeed true to the editorial write up. However I must add that this is a book strictly for the avid freshwater sting ray aquarist. A problem with freshwater stingray is their many "morphs" within the same species and this book has a really comprehensive pictorial of the many "morphs" within the same species. Now I can identify the thirteen freshwater stingrays in my care with certainty. Note that this is not a book on care nor setup of aquariums for frewater rays. It is more a identification and writeup of the characteristics of the many freshwater rays. Strictly for the advanced aquarists specializing in freshwater rays only and hence fully worth the price and the 6 weeks wait I had.

While still new to caring for freshwater rays, a friend loaned me a copy of this book, and it quickly became my bible! With many color photos and illustrations, including a dissection photo, this book is a great reference tool for identifying and sexing rays. For those looking to keep rays as pets, the book covers the basic requirements for keeping rays, including tank size, subsrate, and water conditions. The book is also full of helpful words from the author's own experience of keeping freshwater rays, and can help you avoid common problems, diseases, etc. For those who do not plan to keep rays as pets, this book is worth a look simply for its wealth of information on one of the less known types of freshwater aquatic life. An interesting, informative, and essential book for any aquarist!

When it comes to infomration and classifcation of labyrints, like bettas and guramies. There is only one book that is good enought. This one!

This is the way to tell a story! I felt like I was there, was really grabbed by this one. This book graces the otherwise limp, fluffy fantasy/sci-fi shelves.
