This is a good book and an interesting read but it is certainly not comprehensive. I have 4 types of cichlids in my aquarium that are not mentioned anywhere in the book and I would certainly not consider them to be particularly rare or exotic.
If you want to increase your level of knowledge about cichlids in general, I would have to say that this book is worth getting but if you are looking to identify an unknown fish then you are probably better off with something more encyclopaedic.

A great disappointment
29 Sep 2003
I thought that this book will have all the info i'll need for my African cichlids aquariums, but this book is a total flop ,
surprising with the names that were responsible for its release.
It has little info on the life of the African cichlid of lake Malawi & Tanganyka and nothing else , it is mainly a picture book (more then 90%) WITHOUT any data on the fish in the pics.
It seems i'm stuck with it but you can find much much better books to spend your money on.

One of the ORIGINAL books about African Cichlids...

A great book that was written decades ago and still holds value today - yes, some of the species names have changed (as science always does so..Science will always prove itself incorrect on any subject to allow for needed progressions).
This was the first book available for the Tropical Fish Hobbyist to gain first hand information from sources directly visiting Lakes Malawi and Tanganyika.
The publisher of the book is also the founder of Tropical Fish Hobbyist Magazine - A Well
Respected publication since the 50's for fish hobbyists.

This book allowed me and friends to see where the fish we kept in our tanks were from.. In the 70s there was not an internet to go to...to get a quick glimpse at Lakes Malawi and Tanganyika...It served its purpose well and I feel is still useful as an alternate resource for today's hobbyists
