This book gives comprehensive information about the popular dwarf cichlids of South America. It makes a wonderful completion to AQUALOG South American Cichlids II. All AQUALOG -reference books introduce each fish (incl. breeding forms etc.)with at least one color photo and a short description. The ingenious code number system labels every known or newly discovered fish with an individual code number. This number re mains, despite any scientific renaming. Moreover, it enables you to communicate internationally about any fish without the danger of confusion regarding local names! Your AQUALOG -reference book always stays up-to-date! All newly discovered or bred species are regularly published as supplements or so-called "stickups" in our AQUALOGnews. These stickers can be attached to the empty pages at the end of your book. If you want more information about these interesting fishes, you'll find it in our AQUALOG -reference book "South American Cichlids II"!

Excellent Reference Guide for Dwarf Cichlid Enthusiasts,
By pjedi@jps.net (Roseville, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: South American Dwarf Cichlids (Aqualog Book, Vol. 1) (Hardcover)
I have enjoyed breeding various dwarf cichlids for last ten years (from Dicrossus filamentosus to Apistogramma iniridae) and this is by far the best reference guide on South American dwarf cichlids since Link and Staek's "American Cichlids I." The number and quality of photographs are excellent. I appreciated having several pictures of a single species to refer to for identification since most books only offer one picture of a male and female representative of the species. It is a very comprehensive work and I would call it a "MUST" for anyone who is interested in the proper identification of South American dwarf cichlids.

Good reference,
By Geoff Simonds (San Diego, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: South American Dwarf Cichlids (Aqualog Book, Vol. 1) (Hardcover)
To be considered an updated version of Linke & Staeck. This book coves all Apistogramma species covered in the former book plus many more, but Linke & Staeck cover a wider range of genus' (Crenicichla, Laetacara, Nannacara, etc). This book has an excellent introduction on keeping, history, physiology, reproduction, etc. Many species include a very useful chemical analysis of the natural water. The english translation is almost painful at times.

Cannot be Bettered,
By J. Chippindale (England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: South American Dwarf Cichlids (Aqualog Book, Vol. 1) (Hardcover)
All of the Aqualog books are excellent value, although they are not particularly cheap. They are full to the brim with first class colour photographs and to reproduce these in book form is an expensive process. Whether they are about Dwarf Cichlids or some other species of fish they are the most comprehensive identification books you can buy. They never become dated because as new fish become available to the aquarist trade the books are updated. Either the book itself is updated or there are additional supplements that can be added.
The books are primarily for the specialist hobbyist rather than one who has a community tank in his or her living room. There is certainly nothing wrong with that scenario, but the Aqualog books are geared towards the hobbyist with a fish house who specialises in a particular species of fish. Having said all that I am sure anyone interested in tropical fish would love town and look at the Aqualog books and if they can afford them why not?
