More About the Author
Product Description
Synopsis
These fish species come in many interesting and colourful varieties available to aquarium hobbyists. Barron's extensive line of "Complete Pet Owner's Manuals" advise current and soon-to-be pet owners on the care of dogs and cats of virtually all recognized breeds, as well as on birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, small mammals, and even exotic creatures like tarantulas and sugar gliders. The information in each book is authoritative but the language is non-technical and easy for every pet owner to understand. Every title in this series is individually written from first page to last by a breeder, trainer, veterinarian, or other animal specialist. All "Complete Pet Owner's Manuals" are filled with high-quality colour photos and instructive line art.

Format:Paperback
I found this book to be an excellent introduction to the keeping of Lake Tanganyikan cichlids. It offers a short history of the lake and its conditions. The author then describes the environment one is required to provide to keep the many species, including descriptions of common ailments. The largest part of the book is devoted to descriptions and full colour photographs of many of the species found in the lake and available from the aquarist trade. The book is targeted at the novice Tanganyikan keeper and those looking for reams of detail should look elsewhere. It stands out, however, by balancing sufficient detail and common sense with an stupidly affordable price.
Format:Paperback
If you want a book which has a fairly comprehensive list (with pictures) of the cichlids within the lake, this is the book for you. I have found the species specific information to be accurate and informative although if you want a lot of detailed information on a single species you may find this book lacking. For complete novices to the world of cichlids (as i was upon purchasing this book) the initial chapters detailing habitat and care are also very good. As a tool for the early planning stages of a Tanganyika tank this book was excellent.
NOTE: I have the Lake Malawi book from the same series and have found it to be a touch optimistic when describing the temperament of some of the fish. It may be a common thread though the series though I am yet to find such an occurrence in this book.
