Jurrassic Fishes

Not a one of them is cute, not a one of them is cuddly. In fact, many of them are big and ugly and downright mean. They all have one big asset in common, though: they're interesting. No: they're fascinating. That is their charm, the hold they have on aquarium hobbyists. Despite their relatively high cost, despite the fact that most simply can't be trusted not to kill or swallow their tankmates, and despite the special demands they make or their keepers in terms of providing really big tanks and (sometimes) hard-to-get living foods, the fishes discussed and shown in this book keep their viewers entertained for hours on end. People never seem to tire of watching them. Whether they're preparing to engulf a luckless food fish or launching a perhaps-unprovoked attack or some unsuspecting tankmate-maybe one even more homicidally inclined than themselves,whether they just up to their usual serpentine sneaking or bullying blustering, or whether they're just going through the immensely peculiar but literally age-old motions that had served their kind well for hundreds of millions of years before there was an upstart Man to confine and confound them, they absolutely compel your attention They can't be ignored. Ancient in their lineage and purely primitive in their anatomy and behavior, the fascinating fishes in this book definitely qualify as members of the Jurassic Fishes Gang.
