4.0 out of 5 stars
This book is a good price performer. OK for novice.,
By hosie@maranatha.net (Gaithersburg, Maryland, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cichlids: Purchase, Care, Feeding, Diseases, Behavior, and Breeding (Pet Owner's Manual) (Paperback)
This book really tries to lay out what you are going to get into if you want to get into keeping, and possibly breeding, African Cichlids. Though it may leave some wanting more, at $5.56 (USD) it really packs alot of information and is a good summary of what you are in for with this intriguing hobby. Agreed, some of the information might be laid out a little more clearly. But it also presents a great deal more about all aspects of raising Africans that you don't get out of books costing $30, $50, even $100 (list price). I recommend it highly to a beginner. To one who has been involved in the hobby for a while, you may get more from rec.aquaria.freshwater.cichlids. But for the novice, I'd suggest you go for it before you decide to buy fish or a tank. It may help you avoid costly mistakes.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Disappointment,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cichlids: Purchase, Care, Feeding, Diseases, Behavior, and Breeding (Pet Owner's Manual) (Paperback)
This book is disappointing. It focuses too much on breeding cichlids, yet it claims to be a book for beginners. Beginners are not interested in breeding cichlids, they just want to keep their fish alive. The book is also very vague. For example, when discussing the proper PH level for Malawi cichlids it says keep it above 7. What does that mean, 7.5, 8.2 ?
4.0 out of 5 stars
Not a bad read for beginners,
By Gavin (sydney, nsw Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cichlids: Purchase, Care, Feeding, Diseases, Behavior, and Breeding (Pet Owner's Manual) (Paperback)
Not a bad book but is not extensive enough to become knowledgeable for cichlids has all the basics in set up different types of cichlids where they are etc, and is a definate read for the novice but needs a more detailed account for a person who already knows the basics
