1.0 out of 5 stars I was very disappointed and surprised, January 9, 2009
By 
Breck Breckenridge (Spokane, Washington) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bettas and Gouramis: Understanding Siamese Fighting Fish, Paradisefish, Kissing Gouramis, and Other Anabantoids (Fish Keeping Made Easy) (Hardcover)
The title of this book seemed to promise just what I was looking for; some real in depth treatments of these labyrinthine fishes. I own a betta and have been seriously considering getting a dwarf gourami (Colisa lalia). So when I checked this book out I expected some new info from an expert who knows these fishes.

Instead what I found was very little depth in its treatments of these fish. The section on the species themselves is pitifully brief. Even the photos aren't very extensive. It just seems to me to be a book put together to "cash in" on the popularity of this class of fish without really bringing anything new to the table. I was surprised by its short-comings.

This review is from: Bettas and Gouramis: Understanding Siamese Fighting Fish, Paradisefish, Kissing Gouramis, and Other Anabantoids (Fish Keeping Made Easy) (Hardcover)
This book has some really great information regarding betta fish care, illnesses and how to look out for those illnesses, types of bettas, telling the difference between bettas by the type of tails they have, where they come from, ect. This book is really amazing and informational. I still refer back to this book from time to time.
