Cichlids: Everything About Purchase, Care, Nutrition, Reproduction, and Behavior (Complete Pet Owner's Manual)

I was interested in starting a cichid tank and this book was very helpful. fill with good tips and ideas. I would have like more photos. I decided after reading the book that cichids where too hard for be to handle due to the size of tank needed and a small amount of fish one can have. I have a discus tank instead

I have just gotten into the intriguing world of cichlid keeping. I myself have 3 african (electric yellow lab, kenyyi and a demasoni) and 5 convict ciclids (South American). This book is fantastic, good pictures (must have for specie ID'ing)and a wonderful read. It only took about an hour to read the book from cover to cover but for under 4 bucks...awesome! If you are thinking about getting into keeping these awesome fish or you already have them, get this book!

I'm looking forward to having a tank of Cichlids. This was a good manual to help me understand the natural environment of the Cichlids thought out the world. I also have a better understanding of the Cichlids requirements in a home tank.

This book is excellent at describing the reproductive habits of cichlids, their natural habitats, and behaviors of the fish. The only down fall it has is it gives most of the cichlids species name and not their common names. I am a novice cichlid keeper and this made it a little more harder to select different fish at the store.

interesting and hope i am learning enough to raise some cichlids

A lot of info in this book,good bye for the price, Received in a timely manner.good reading for the beginner fish lover.

This is a very good guide for those of you who need a variety of information concerning the care and guide in keeping cichlids. It gives you a very good description of the different cichlids and their care. There is also some great photography in this care guide I'm sure you'll enjoy as much as I did.

Purchased this book to help my 13 year old son manage his new Cichlid tank. It was (is) very helpful.

Fine for beginners. A lot of general fish information (setting up tank, diseases etc) but not very detailed on cichlids specifically.

GREAT VALUE AND SERVICE

very informative all i need now is the tank..........

I had expected to be reading every night, but I have not. It tells you the basics, but the inspiration lacks.

Good read
