5.0 out of 5 stars A book of unusal freshwater fishes with excellent photos., April 26, 1999

This review is from: Jurassic Fishes: Selection - Care - Behavior (Hardcover)

When I first came across this book I was stunned by the beautiful photo reproductions of some of the most unusal and interesting freshwater fishes in the world. Because of this book I became very interested and now an owner of a couple of Bichirs (Polyterus) which they cover in detail about various species, care and behavior. If you're a novice freshwater fish hobbyist and want a book that cut to the chase to some very interesting fishes, check this book out and I promised you'll be inspired and discover that some of these fishes are not all that difficult to keep.

This review is from: Jurassic Fishes: Selection - Care - Behavior (Hardcover)

An excellent resource and reference tome for keepers of many species of primitive fishes, with excellent photography throughout. I keep and raise many specimens of Polypteridae and knife fish, and would not be without this volume in my library....it is the essential cornerstone of any reference collection on primitive fishes.
