Dr. Axelrod's Atlas of Freshwater Aquarium Fishes - Tapa dura

Here is the newest edition of a book - a truly beautiful and immensely colourful book - that has taken the tropical fish world by storm by satisfying the long-existing need for a comprehensive identification guide to aquarium fishes. The book shows in full colour not only the popular aquarium fishes but also the oddballs, not just the warmwater species but the coldwater species as well, and not just the foreign species but the domestic species, too. In addition, valuable information dealing with maintenance in captivity is included. In short, this book has it all, and it's arranged in the format that will provide maximum utility to readers: the fishes are grouped family by family according to the geographical region from which they come. The photos themselves are so up-to-date that a number of the fishes have yet to be described in scientific literature. This new edition contains many of the photos that so many of you are used to, only with revised taxonomy (where appropriate). All of this beautiful photo-text package is concerned with identification and maintenance, the type of down-to-earth information that is of benefit to every tropical fish hobbyist, beginners and experienced alike.
