Well first off i would suggest you buy the Romer Atlas ... Cichlid Atlas 1.. on apistos... its a baensch type atlas all on apistos..... well worth the money. Second book i would buy would be the LInke/Staeck book.... American Cichlids 1 : Dwarf Cichlids...... this is very good, good info nice pics. Third would be th South American Dwarf Cichlids by Mayland and Bork.... Very nice pics which i think are color lens enhanced.... never seen any apistos with those bright colors as depicted in this book.... The German book by Ingo Koslowski is very good.... Die Buntbarsche Amerikas Band 2 Apistogramma & Co. This has awesome pics , good book if you can read german.... Then of course the Aqualog South American Cichids II is really good pic reference book.. All are worth the money i spent on them... I enjoy each one of them and refer to them quite often.... These 5 books i would call a must for an Apisto Nut.... I've learned alot from all of them Snowbound Johnny Again!!!! IS spring EVER coming?????? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- This is the apistogramma mailing list, apisto@listbox.com.
