Catfish

Ranging from the perennially popular and completely inoffensive little Corydoras
species that grace almost every newly set up aquarium to the big-mawed ravening giants like the red-tailed Phractocephalus, from the beautifully polka-dotted Synodontis angelicus to the flatheaded brown blob that is Chaca chaca, the many different catfish families provide an immensely wide range of species. Catfish of all types are becoming increasingly more popular with aquarists, to the point that some experienced hobbyists are specializing in catfish alone, and this book proves an excellent introduction to a fascinating group.In addition to providing very practical advice about setting up an aquarium for catfish and maintaining them in good health, it also contains specific recommendations about which species to get and has a comprehensive species guide. The book's many colourful photos cover both common and rare species and are very useful for identification.
