4.0 out of 5 stars ABCs of Angelfishes
The book is very easy to read. It's written as Dr. Axelrod's own experience in keeping Angelfishes. You'll learn more about Angelfishes while you read the book. The book provides generous pictures of Angelfishes' strains. Quite a complete brief on Angelfishes. Covers diseases and breeding too.

2.0 out of 5 stars A treatise on the authors life experience
If you want to read about the authors life experiences rather than keeping, breeding and care of Angelfish, this book is for you. I ordered it thinking it would deal with the latter, not the former and was rather

This review is from: Freshwater Angel Fishes (Hardcover)
If you want to read about the authors life experiences rather than keeping, breeding and care of Angelfish, this book is for you. I ordered it thinking it would deal with the latter, not the former and was rather
disapointed in its contents. I suppose that Drs. Axelrod and Burger have led active tropical fish hunting expeditions and thought they should share their adventures with the readers. I think you would be better off with an early edition of William T. Innes "Exotic Aquarium Fish". It has a detailed write-up on the keeping, breeding and care of fresh water Angelfish. Although this book has been out of print for many years, It may still be available on eBay or gathering dust in some book stores.

1.0 out of 5 stars not very good, April 7, 2009
This review is from: Freshwater Angel Fishes (Hardcover)
This book wasnt worth it at all, he hardly talks about anything the average owner wants to know about...he mostly talks about the wild strains, and how he went out in search of them!
