I have rated this book a 5-star book based only on the photographs in the book. Easy species of fish is shown in brilliant color against black backgrounds on every page. Teh fish are large pictures too so you can view a lot of detail. The other portion of this book has common names and scientific nomenclature for each species.

The book will give some brief lines of information regarding habits of the fish but it is very limited. A great book for choosing fish you would like to obtain and contacting your local pet stores to then purchase for you. If you are looking for breeding, diseases, feeding, etc, then you would do best to find another reference.

Best Malawi pictorial reference, the photos are first rate with an example of male and female photos for each species. Don't buy another Malawi Cichlid without it!

solely a pictural guide but if you looking to learn the different species of cichlids this could certainly be of some help.

In the cichlid world, people put names on frankenstien fish that they breed. This book will give you the perfect visual knowledge to know what you are buying.

it is an amzing book and it got here before the estimated delivery was, which made me realy happy. it comes in handy all the time when i buy new cichlids. i can just look them up in the book and i can see what they will look like as an adult and it shows me how they look as a juvinile too. all i have to say is if you are a cichlid lover and love to find out new info. then this is definitly the book for you.

An excellent book, with crisp clear photos in a simple reader friendly format. Great for seeing what those plain Fry are going to grow to look like. Also useful in seperating breeds with similiarly marked females and juveniles. You can take this one off the bookshelf and leave it on the coffee table.

Oddly enough, it appears only 1 of the cichlids on the cover is an actul Mbuna, the rest being Haps.
