4.0 out of 5 stars A Must for Livebearer Fans, November 24, 2002

By	Bill Leung (Australia) - See all my reviews

This superb little book is in a class of its own.

Although it doesn't cover all the livebearing aquarium fishes, and does in fact have photos of species of fishes not discussed in the main text, however, it has a very detailed coverage for Goodeidae, Jenysinidae, and Anabelops (the 4 eye livebearer). To find good discussions of these livebearers are few and far between in even many good quality aquarium texts.

The knowledge of the author is superb and the book is an enjoyable reading for those who wants to get a good grounding in the livebearers. Definitely a very unique little book in its own rare class.

4.0 out of 5 stars Have Amazon find this picture-filled good book for you, December 12, 1999

By	Robert H. Nunnally Jr. "gurdonark" (Allen, TX United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is a solid little survey of the livebearing aquarium fishes, supported by numerous photos. Attention is given to the out of favor species, while the author avoids the "isn't this a weird one" approach to fish reportage. So many wonderful cultivars in the livebearing species are taken for granted, for the ironic reasons that they are grand, colorful, easy aquarium fish! I would have liked a little more wild guppy and miniature livebearer coverage, but this book is the goods--real hobbyist stuff, in an attractive format, with little fluff.
