This review is from: Success with Cichlids from Lakes Malawi and Tanganyika Keeping And Breeding African Cichilds (Hardcover)

This is a reasonably old book - many new books on African Cichlid keeping has now come to the market - but as an African Cichlid keeper I feel this book still has a lot to offer.Also has excellent photos and the presentation is remarkably good.Would recommend this book to friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive, great photos, 2 Jan 2000

By Angel Lee "Liocorno Amethyst Moonstone" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Success with Cichlids from Lakes Malawi and Tanganyika Keeping And Breeding African Cichilds (Hardcover)

This is an exceptionally informative book for any aquarist interested in keeping East African cichlids. There is general information on aquarium set up & maintenance along with specialized detail on these beautiful exotic fishes.

I especially enjoyed the section on the native habitat of the East African lakes with maps and many photos of fish in their natural setting. I appreciate knowing this background of the fish I am keeping.

Individual species of cichlids are described with their unique characteristics. Clear photos show the variety and beautiful coloration within this family. Selecting fish that will live together in harmony is emphasized.

The comprehensive species specific feeding instructions provided are invaluable since the requirements vary widely among the different cichlids. Breeding and health tips complete this great guide.

5.0 out of 5 stars The BIBLE for any cichlid keeper, 3 Aug 1999

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Success with Cichlids from Lakes Malawi and Tanganyika Keeping And Breeding African Cichilds (Hardcover)

The most comprehensive text available for the maintenance & breeding of the generality of cichlids. Complete guide to the setting up, maintenance & trouble shooting in the cichlid aquarium. May at times seem a little technical, but is necessarily so. You may find a more simple pictorial guide to species but will soon lose your fish if you do not follow the basic principles here outlined. Description of species and their needs is more than adequate and colour plates are extensive. One criticism reported is the use of latin names for the species. Thank god for that as it is relatively up to date & the only nomenclature that allows hobbyists to be sure of what they have in their tanks. It should be the standard. Overall the must have cichlid book to be read prior to embarking on this fascinating branch of the hobby.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for the starting out cichlid lover., 27 Nov 1998

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Success with Cichlids from Lakes Malawi and Tanganyika Keeping And Breeding African Cichilds (Hardcover)

I recently recieved this book as a present and can not say enough about it. I found alot of the information in the book to be excellent and well informative. The book is perfect for anyone just starting out with a Malawi or Tanganyika Cichlid tank. If you are already knowledgable about the general care of the fish then this book is still for you. It goes into great depth on nutritional needs of the fish and breeding.
