Product Description
The main topic of this third AQUALOG reference book on the cichlids of Africa is the genus Aulonocara. These splendid fishes, known in English-speaking countries as Malawi Peacocks, are amongst the most magnificent and beautiful fishes in the world. Their glorious colors, their relatively peaceful nature, their small body size, and their interesting behavior, are combined by Mother Nature to make the members of this genus ideal aquarium fishes. In African Cichlids III all the species of this genus known to science, as well as their numerous geographical variants, plus some species not yet scientifically described, are illustrated to a level of completeness never before achieved. In addition, this volume also presents all the species and variants of the genera Alticorpus, Lethrinops, Taeniolethrinops, and Tramitichromis, as well as the variants of the species Astatotilapia calliptera that live in the Lake Malawi. With 128 pages, hardcover, and over 470 brilliant color photos, another achievement for breeders, dealers, and hobbyists interested in African Cichlids. |

AQUALOG African Cichlids III Malawi II: Peacocks by Lindy Kiazim (Australia)  3 Stars
April 09, 2008
This book was not quite what I was hoping for. Not as informative as I had imagined it might be. None the less still useful.

Unbeatable Fish-keeping books by J. Chippindale (England)  5 Stars
January 20, 2007
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 African Cichlids 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. There is not a lot of literature on African cichlids so this book is invaluable.
They do not deal with the basics of fish keeping, there are many and varied books that do that. They are in the main a fish identification encyclopaedia and nothing more. But for those aquarists who are particularly interested in a single species they are indispensable.
