Needs Updating...
As I got more serious into keeping fish I figured it would be good to have some books as the internet still doesn't have everything. This picture book has definitely helped me in my finding and identifying of fish from South America.

Only down side is I don't think the company is active anymore as it would be nice to get some more and newer stickers for the back.

This book could def use some updating as more fish from ea section has been identified and they don't have m/f of ea.

Beautiful Fish-keeping Books

South American Cichlids IV (H. J. Mayland)
Unbeatable

All of the Aqualog books are excellent value, although they are not particularly cheap. They are full to the brim with first class colour photographs and to reproduce these in a book is an expensive process. Whether they are about many of the different beautiful fishes now coming into the aquarist trade or in this case specifically the Cichlid species of fishes many of which are among the most beautiful fishes. They are first class for identifying that fish that you have had for some time, but have not been able to put a name to.

This is a really beautiful book with some stunning photographs and for anyone interested in Cichlids in particular and fish-keeping in general it is a book to be treasured.
