5.0 out of 5 stars
Mandatory for any killifish hobbyist, April 10, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Rivulins-Scheel (Hardcover)
This book was the standard reference for identifying killifish back when it was new and is still a good reference text today. Scheel briefly described the maintenance, feeding & breeding of old world killifish, then proceeds to discuss how the species differ from each other in detail. He wrote about the scale and pigment patterns, chromosome number and shape, hemoglobin patterns, and the results of hybrid crossing experiments between different species. He also reviewed the known information about each old world killifish--some new species were described and many old species reclassified. All of this information is definitely worth having if you're a serious killifish breeder. While this book only briefly discusses how to keep and breed killies, the pictures alone are worth many times the price.

This review is from: Rivulins-Scheel (Hardcover)
Tech. volume of drawnings, photos and descriptions of the then known genera and species of African and EurAsia Killies.Not a beginners' book, but helpful in identifying the species(1968) and tracing populations to their orgins. Every serious Killifish Hobbist should have it in their Lib.
