Hey,
Just wondering what other books people have or have seen that collates extensive details on our friends, the dwarf cichlid.
I recently got a copy of the DATZ SA dwarf cichlid book and thought it was pretty good. Just wanted to know what other helpful books there are on the market.
Cheers,
Kev
P.S. Not limiting this to just Apistos

Is the Aqualog just eye candy?
I haven't seen one myself but been told they generally just contain images and not so much helpful info??

That's pretty much spot on - pictures after pictures. Really good quality but lacks technical information.

Romer's Atlas is very good but a bit old now, but definitely worth having. There is also a new updated version coming out, I think middle to late next year. The Aqualog South american Cichlids 2 is very similar to the DATS book.

that apisto-nut mentioned is a good little book, not as big or as detailed as Romer's Atlas though.
You should be able to find some info on these books on amazon.
