Back-to-Nature guide to Tanganyika
Cichlids
2nd edition
by Ad Konings
Tanganyika cichlids are the most interesting
aquarium fishes known today. More than any other group of aquarium fishes,
they have evoked great passion among hobbyists. They provide aquarists
with a combination of attractive fishes, interesting behavior, and easy
maintenance. In order to enjoy your Tanganyika cichlid aquarium to the
full, however, it is essential to take their specific maintenance requirements
into account. This new guide provides expert advice on all the elements
of proper maintenance, such as choice of aquarium (with details of the
minimum size and capacity required for each species discussed), creating
the correct water conditions, providing appropriate decor, feeding, breeding,
common diseases, etc.
This book is a revised and greatly
expanded version of the Tanganyika cichlids guide published in this series
in 1996. It contains several new chapters and the number of photos has
doubled to about 600. This guide provides an overview of all the species
that have become available to the hobby and comprehensive information on
how to keep them in the best possible way. Two detailed foldout maps and
the numerous outstanding photos make this guide indispensable for anyone
interested in these exciting fishes.
