Excellent book, a must for MBUNA keepers, especially for exact identification of these confusing fish. When is the Tanganykan version coming out?

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 African Cichlids 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 African cichlids 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 and nothing more. But for those aquarists who are particularly interested in a single species they are indispensable.

I am happy to see lots of photos from this particular type of fish which is what I have been looking for. Some of the pictures are not too clear but it is no big deal. Overall it is a must have for people in love with the Mbuna fish like myself!
