Product Description

All known plated catfish are presented on 144 pages with 650 brilliant color photographs and short introductory text. Besides the genera Aspidoras, Brochis, Corydoras, Callichthys Dianema, Hoplosternum, we show all variants, mutants, hybrids, breeding forms and undescribed forms ("C-numbers"). All AQUALOG -reference books introduce each fish (incl. breeding forms etc.)with at least one color photo and a short description. The ingenious code number system labels every known or newly discovered fish with an individual code number. This number re mains, despite any scientific renaming. Moreover, it enables you to communicate internationally about any fish without the danger of confusion regarding local names! Your AQUALOG -reference book always stays up-to-date! All newly discovered or bred species are regularly published as supplements or so-called "stickups" in our AQUALOGnews. These stickers can be attached to the empty pages at the end of your book. If you want more information about these interesting fishes, you'll find it in our AQUALOG -Special "Fishes of the Year - The Highlights"!

Customer Reviews

Simply the Best Reference Books
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 Corydoras or some other species of fish they are the most comprehensive identification books you can buy. They never become dated because as new fish become available to the aquarist trade the books are updated.

They will not tell you how to set up a tank or what plants or rockwork you need. They will not tell you which filter to use or what type of substrate. They are a fish identification encyclopaedia and nothing more. But for those aquarists who are particularly interested in a particular species they are indispensable.
