5.0 out of 5 stars Colored Atlas of Miniature Catfish, April 18, 2000
This review is from: Colored Atlas of Miniature Catfish: Every Species of Corydoras, Brochis & Aspidoras (Hardcover)
What a fantastic book! I raise corys and was looking for a book that would give me more information on specific species. This book gives a very in depth description of the spawning process for Corys in general then gives more specifics under the individual species if they differ from the "general". It includes advice about water temperature, PH, and water hardness. It is just what I was looking for and is a valuable resource for anyone who is raising corys for breeding or has them in their tanks "just for fun."

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent All Around Book on Catfish Care!, August 28, 2000
This review is from: Colored Atlas of Miniature Catfish: Every Species of Corydoras, Brochis & Aspidoras (Hardcover)
Working as a manager in one of the largest aquarium shops in my state several years ago, I had a perfect opportunity to know and use many books. Some were excellent and others a waste of money. This book is an excellent guide to one of my favorite fish...the cat! Different types of cats are pictured in photos or detailed drawings to make identification much easier. Well worth every penny, it is a must for anyone truly interested in their care!

4.0 out of 5 stars Miniature review, June 12, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Colored Atlas of Miniature Catfish: Every Species of Corydoras, Brochis & Aspidoras (Hardcover)
Colored Atlas of Miniature Catfish is a good book for the lovers of Corydoras, Brochis and Aspidoras. The book aims to give the reader help in identifying and keeping different species of the three subfamilies of the family Callichthyidae (Corydoras, Brochis and Aspidoras).

The books subtitle is sadly misleading in promising to present "Every species of Corydoras, Brochis & Aspidoras", because it doesn't. The most common and usual to find for sale is there, none the less, so most readers will find "their" species mentioned.

Some of the species' sections have only color drawings of the fish. The rest have photographs of varying quality, from right out terrible to fantastic.

The marrows of the book, for some peculiar reason placed on the outside of the text, have a repulsive color gradient turning from red to yellow down each page. The esthetics of the book suffers under this insult to the eye. The text is in a big and easy readable font.

In regards to the content, Burgess' Colored Atlas of Miniature Catfish scores better with me. Each section is built in rather similar fashion, making it easy for the reader to find what one is after in regards to each species, location; physiology/appearance; similar species; care and breeding.

If you have a Callichthyidae of an unknown species, this book will probably help you determine it; I recon the book as a good by for any miniature catfish lover.
