This handsome volume is designed exclusively for divers and aquarium hobbyists. Covering all the world`s species -- 83 angelfishes and 121 butterflyfishes, it is the first comprehensive guide to these popular families. Few other fishes are so intimately related to the coral environment, and none exhibit such a remarkable array of dazzling color patterns. Every species is illustrated in full color, with extra photographs provided for the very different juvenile and sex-related forms. This valuable reference contains a wealth of information pertaining to behavior, life history, distribution, and aquarium maintenance of these remarkable fishes. 256 pages, hardcover.

This review is from: A Guide to Angelfishes and Butterflyfishes (Hardcover)
This book is a delight. Though not huge at 7"x10" the production values are outstanding, with glorious photographs and informative text. The book covers the entire world, with maps detailing range for each species along with depth range, diagnostic markings, habits etc. One welcome feature is that similar looking species are grouped together -- closely related species appear on opposite pages -- so differences can be easily spotted. A star rating indicates the suitablility for aquariums. This book would be welcomed by any keen diver, snorkeller or aquarist and is great value at this price.
