4.0 out of 5 stars A greate book for beginners, September 13, 1998

By A Customer

This book has a lot of general information about Tanganyikan cichlids and the way to keep them in a home aquarium. The pictures in the book have a special glossy cover, which makes them look very good. It's an excellent 'first book', but someone interested in information about specific cichlid should search for them in another book.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT BOOK, May 9, 2003

By	Jeffrey Szostek (El Paso, Texas USA) - See all my reviews

The book is a little thin but remember dont judge a book by its cover. The pictures are GREAT!!! I have been a cichlid breeder for about 25 years and just recently i went into africans and this was one of my first books. The only problem is that it doesnt elaborate on some things, but its a great book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nicely put together, but skips around with a lot of basics., December 17, 1998

By	R. Sparks "middle_path" (Norman, Oklahoma United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As a friend of mine (that owns a pet shop) said, "I really wish this book had been around when my 8 year old did a report on fish. . .". The book is beautiful. If you need some great pix or if you need some pretty easy text to copy, go for this book. If you have an in depth interest in cichlid keeping or breeding, get the book by Loiselle.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but
This is a good book with beautiful glossy pictures, but the information in it is very basic. The first 44 pages is devoted to setup, equipment and water with adverts thrown in... Read more
