Customer Reviews

I was very disappointed and surprised1
The title of this book seemed to promise just what I was looking for; some real in depth treatments of these labyrinthine fishes. I own a betta and have been seriously considering getting a dwarf gourami (Colisa lalia). So when I checked this book out I expected some new info from an expert who knows these fishes.

Instead what I found was very little depth in its treatments of these fish. The section on the species themselves is pitifully brief. Even the photos aren't very extensive. It just seems to me to be a book put together to "cash in" on the popularity of this class of fish without really bringing anything new to the table. I was surprised by its short-comings.
