D.C. books (was Re: )

[Mike & Diane Wise <apistowise@bewellnet.com>]

Yvan,

The Apisto-gram always has a list of books that
have something on dwarf cichlids. The ASG web page
will eventually have my d.c. bibliography on it,
too. I sent it in last month - over 800
references. Of these only 3 were in French:
Original descriptions of A. bitaeniata, N.
aureocephalus, and one entitled "Apistogramma
nijsseni Kullander un nouveau Cichlidé nain pour
l'aquarium" by de Rham & Kullander, which
introduced A. nijsseni into the aquarium hobby and
pictured what males looked like for the first
time.

I know of some books dealing with d.c.s that are
published in French. Most are books translated
from German. They include:

Boujard T., M. Pascal, J. F. Meunier & P. Y. Le
Bail (1997) : Poissons de Guyane, guide écologique
de l'Approuague et de la reserve des Nouragues.
INRA éditions, Versailles : p 18, 170 & 172.
Riehl R. & H. A. Baensch (1997) : Atlas de
l'Aquarium, band 1. 3ème version française. Mergus
Verlag, Melle.
Baensch H. A. & R. Riehl (1997) : Atlas de
l'Aquarium, band 2. Mergus Verlag, Melle.
Linke H. & W. Staeck (1992) : Cichlidés américains
I, espéces naines. Tetra Verlag, Melle.

I also understand that the "Revue francaise
Aquariologie" (not sure if I got the spelling
right) is an excellent magazine. Hope this helps.
