AQUALOG Killifishes of the world - Old World Killis I (English and German Edition) [Paperback]

Lothar Seegers (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 1, 1997

In this AQUALOG-reference book, Dr. Lothar Seegers introduces the groups Aphysosemion, Lampeyes and Ricefishes. "Freshwater Jewels" is another name for the beautiful killis. You will know why after having seen the amazing array of colors disp layed by killifishes, presented in this book on over 800 brilliant multi-colored photographs. Like in all other AQUALOG books we have taken great troubles to present all known groups, even all locality-variants. All AQUALOG -reference books introduce each fish (incl. breeding forms etc.)with at least one color photo and a short description. The ingenious code number system labels every known or newly discovered fish with an individual code number. This number re mains, despite any scientific renaming. Moreover, it enables you to communicate internationally about any fish without the danger of confusion regarding local names! Your AQUALOG -reference book always stays up-to-date! All newly discovered or bred species are regularly published as supplements or so-called "stickups" in our AQUALOGnews. These stickers can be attached to the empty pages at the end of your book.

This review is from: AQUALOG Killifishes of the world - Old World Killis I (English and German Edition) (Paperback)

All of the Aqualog books are excellent value, although they are not particularly cheap. They are full to the brim with first class colour photographs and to reproduce these in a book is an expensive process. Whether they are about the beautiful Killifishes now coming into the aquarist trade or some other species of fish they are the most comprehensive identification books you can buy. They never become dated because as new fish become available to the aquarist trade the books are updated. There is not a lot of literature on Killifishes so this book is invaluable.

They do not deal with the basics of fish keeping, there are many and varied books that do that. They are in the main a fish identification encyclopaedia for a particular species. But for those aquarists who are particularly interested in a single species they are indispensable.
