This book was very samll (116 pages) and was not what I had hoped for. I am a new cichlid owner and this is not the first book I bought. I already had my tank and my starter fish. I wanted some information that was not in your average "dummies book" which I had already read. What I got was some new information, but for the most part, it was just a review book.
Also, I wanted an idea for some more fish to buy. This book has profiles of 40 cichlids, which sounds like a lot. However, when you take into account the size you want (in my case 4 or 5 inches) and the disposition of the fish (a lot of reviewed fish would not do well in a community species tank), you end up with just a small number of fish you would even want.
In conclusion, it was an informative introductory book, but I wish I would have spent a few more dollars and gotten a more complete species guide.

lots of fish pictures, but few of fish that are previlent in community pet stores.als, the use of common fish names used in stores would have been nice,the latin names are nice,but acommon non latin name combined would be helpful.

I have been dealing with mostly Tiger Barbs, Cory Cats, plecos and such. After several years of trail and error I feel I have a good handle on these types of fish. I now felt confident enough to venture out into the larger more beautiful and more expensive Cichlids that I have always admired. This book is great it is laid out well and easy to understand. I hope that with my previous experience and the knowledge I gained from this book that I won't make as many mistakes as I have in the past. It takes time, patience and disipline to make it in this hobby. Keep educating yourself through books and all the info out there on the internet and you will find this a rewarding hobby indeed.
