Thanks Helen and John for your input! I have never actually seen these books for sale before. They did have some great pictures though. I already have the Linke & Staeck West African book, but I haven't found any of the South American ones in the local shops. I'll keep my eyes peeled! Thanks, Phil ----Original Message Follows---- From: "Helen Burns" <helen.burns@bigwig.net> Phil, If I were you I would recommend leaving the Axelrod where it is, don't know about Burgess book. For excellent value and information in all families of tropical fish I would say the Baensch Atlas's without a doubt. Mayland & Bork and or Linke & Staeck books for South American Dwarf Cichlids. There are also the series of Aqualog books depending on which area of species you are intetrested in. Hope this is of help, Helen >I found 2 sets of Dr. Axelrod and Dr. Burgess, "Atlas of Aquarium Fishes" at >a discount book store. They had a price of $78.00 per volume (1 and 2). >The books look to be in quite good condition, is this a good price for >these? Any advice would be appreciated! > >Thanks, > >Phil ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the apistogramma mailing list, apisto@listbox.com.
