Here is the 10th edition of a book—a truly beautiful and immensely colorful 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 COLOR not only the popular aquarium fishes but also the oddballs and weirdos, not just the warmwater species but the coldwater species as well, not just the foreign fishes 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 has it 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 fishes shown haven't been described yet in the scientific literature— and this new edition contains many new full-color photos in addition to the thousands appearing in the previous editions. 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.

The book also contains step-by-step full-color photographic sequences showing the spawning of a number of fishes front different families.
