Aqualog Special - Breathtaking Rainbows [Hardcover]

Harro Hieronimus (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 1, 1999

These fishes are as colorful as a rainbow. Beautiful photos plus tips about maintenance and all other issues of rainbow fish keeping can be found in this book. Pictures of the biotopes show where these pretty and easy-going fishes come from and how a rainbow fish tank should look like. The 64 most beautiful rainbow fishes are presented on the striking poster. 48 pages, hardcover.
The fishes featured in this book are not just identified by their name but also code number. AQUALOG has developed an ingenious code number system, which labels every known or newly discovered fish (incl. breeding forms etc.) with an individual code number. This number remains, despite any scientific renaming. Moreover, it enables you to communicate internationally about any fish without the danger of confusion regarding local names!
If you want to know more about the Rainbows look for the Aqualog Reference book:
All Rainbows and related families, the ultimate guide to those jewels of the aquarium!

This review is from: Aqualog Special - Breathtaking Rainbows (Hardcover)

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 Rainbow fishes, 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.

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 particular species they are indispensable.

You will know some Rainbows that are fit to small aquariums. This book tells you how to set a nice environment for Rainbows, how to keep and breed them. Also, lots excellent photos.
