Book Description

January 1997
This book has 285 color photos. Malawi cichlids have been, and will probably always remain, among the most popular aquarium fishes of all time. Their brilliant colors, ease of maintenance, and interesting behavior are the three most important reasons for their popularity.

A selection of these fishes is all you need to create an interesting and decorative aquarium in your home. In order to enjoy your Malawi cichlid aquarium to the full, however, it is essential to take their specific maintenance requirements into account. This guide provides expert advice on all the elements of proper maintenance, such as choice of aquarium (with details of the minimum size required for each species discussed), creating the correct water conditions, providing appropriate decor, feeding, etc. Follow these basic guidelines and you will soon have a little piece of Lake Malawi in your living room, for you, your family, and your friends to enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great guide, April 24, 2001
By 
Jocelyn Demers (Boucherville, Quebec Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Guide to Malawi Cichlids (Back to Nature) (Hardcover)
This book is great to explore the diversity of the lake Malawi cichlids. Very helpful to have around when doing a trip to the fish store. Concise informations on the requirements and diet of all Malawi cichlids. The only thing laking is male/female pictures of all fishes. There is usually only the picture of the male of each species. A great book!

5.0 out of 5 stars very specific, May 10, 2000
This review is from: Guide to Malawi Cichlids (Back to Nature) (Hardcover)
Though there isn't a lot of general cichlid keeping information, this book is invaluable to the enthusiast who wants species particular information for the keeping of these beautiful fish. Great pictures and information from a man who's done on the site research. A perfect addition to any cichlid library representing the latest science.

This review is from: Guide to Malawi Cichlids (Back to Nature) (Hardcover)
This book only offers very general information about each fish a very big problem with these fish is agression and how to make your fish compatible with each other.I just expected more.
