This book is great for any one who has or who is thinking about owning a cat fish, there are so many full colour pictures of all the different breeds which is really handy, and of course there sizes and if they are easy to keep or not, this is a handy little book for any one wanting to find out more about Cat Fish, there is a world of information in this book and certainly a great read, you would not be wasting your money if you brought this book.

This book is supposed to be a complete guide to care and breeding of over 100 catfish species. It ain't.
For example, Corydoras species (probably the most commonly kept catfish in the UK) barely get two pages (with a few glossy stock photos).
The book details the care of some species, but 100? Maybe 100 are mentioned in the text, but the majority aren't individually attended to.
As for breeding, this is only cursorily covered and there is scant (if any) information about raising fry. There is a suggestion to patronise a couple of websites, but that's just not good enough. I'm right here on the internet - if I wanted a link to a web site, I'd use Google instead of buying a book.
Very disappointing and nowhere near the book that the title claims it is. Very disappointing.

An excellent overview of catfishes
6 Jan 2010
Format:Paperback
You could not ask for a better introduction to keeping catfishes. Some hobbyists may feel the book does not cover enough species, but there are just too many to cover in a book with this page count. Many catfishes are not suitable for the home aquarium; this book offers a wide variety of species that are. If you are interested in these fishes, do yourself a favor and buy this book.
