The World of Catfishes

Rating:
Summary: Catfish of the World in one book
Review: This book contains almost all families of "cats" including Asian, African, European and North and (of course) South American. There were equal pages\pictures devoted to all species not just the most popular "cory" catfish. There are a lot of full color pics for id but most pics are not fully identified (i.e. synodontus sp.). There is also text on keeping the different families of fish including pH, temp, hardness etc.. Overall this is one of the most complete catfish books on the market although it could use some revision and additional info, but I still concider it in the top 5% of all fish books I have read.
