Catfish Bible for Sale or trade for synodontis species
Posted: 24 Sep 2009, 22:06
All books are in near new condition - no writing no missing pages no tears no binding separation
All pricing was taken off of Amazon.com I used good condition market rates for all of them -- a couple are very hard to find based on what I saw when researching.
Any questions feel free to e mail me I would prefer a local swap a tank for books if possible or would be glad to part with individual books for synodontis species
Books Listed
Dr Warren Burgess Freshwater and Marine Catfish Atlas -- Great Synodontis pics and info 80.00 1st and only edition I had trouble finding infor on this one infor below was taken from Planet catfish.com
Most people would agree that this is THE catfish bible. It covers all 32 catfish families with over 1700 colour (supplemented with more black and white) photos and a generous complement of line drawings.
A brief introduction to catfish anatomy is followed by a section for each family, accounting for about 75% of the book and providing a checklist of all known species at the time of print. Each section also contains a species identification key and varying amounts of species information.
The final quarter of the book gives us the colour photos which are separately indexed. This edition is beginning to show its age taxonomically but this does not detract from the vast wealth of information offered. Not for the Cichlid enthusiast with a few catfish or indeed, as another example, the specialist Corydoras breeder; however if you have several tanks housing all manner of whiskered denizens, this is the book to take you through the many more species you will encounter.
Although the initial outlay may seem high, this book is worth it."
I do have other mint quality Afridan Cichlid salt and freshwater tropical fish books for sale or trade also
Thanks
