Great General Infos on Mbuna.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Malawi Cichlids: Mbuna (Hardcover)
Photos in this book are all glossy photos, excellent pictures. It provides general information on mbuna. This book is excellent for the beginner, but a bit inadequate for the advance african cichlids aquarist. Nonetheless, it is a good book considering the price tag attacked to it.

This review is from: Malawi Cichlids: Mbuna (Hardcover)
The pictures are great. Nice, full color, glossy photos. The general aquarium information is accurate. However, in many instances I have found the information about the fish themselves to be, well, just plain wrong. This book describes the melanochromis genus as only mildly territorial, excellent for the aquarium. In my experience this is blatantly misleading. It describes the cynotilapia genus as so ferocious that they are suited for large, species tanks. It describes labidochromis as the smallest of all the mbuna. This book ignores the existence of the metriaclima genus altogether. For accurate information about mbuna behavior I would not recommend this book.
