Angelfishes of the World (Oceanographic Series)

I like this book very much. I am just now learning about fishes of the ocean. I was interested about Angelfishes in the Caribbean, Barbados and Jamaica. All are beautiful no mater where they're found.

This is a book ,that I will say, Thats the best book ever.

This book is great! Has been seeking this book for a while. The shipment is very fast and books are protected well.

All ok perfect 👍

Great Book

To put it simply, I ordered this book on a whim, recommended from a fellow marine aquarist, and since then I haven't been able to put it down. I have never seen a more comprehensive and affordable review of Saltwater Angelfish, including many images of extremely rare species and hybrids. The images of Angelfish Aquariums maintained by aquarists in Asia is a unique section that really makes you think about how we keep our own aquariums. The only section I found lacking was the section which covered the current captive rearing of marine angelfish - I believe the author could have done more in-depth research, especially into the farm-raised Pomacanthus currently being produced in Asia.

Amazing book. Excellent photography of both the more commom angels and the rarer, difficult or impossible to find in a LFS, ones. Basic info on fish and aquarium husbandry, not a fault, IMO, as most people with special interest on angels may already have aquariuns for some time and read other general set-up and maintance books. Well worth the money.

The pictures are gorgeous but the descriptions are not very fact-filled. They are more "lyrical" than useful. Example: in the description of C. argi, the Cherub angelfish, the author starts off "It is a "Cherub", like a fat pretty child with small wings." The genera are not arranged alphabetically or in any other order that I can discern. Another example for a fish species that I am particularly interested in obtaining and desirous to learn as much about as possible: C. aurantia (Golden angelfish). "The body shape is rounded, the mouth is tiny, and the face is so cute." None of these "facts" really help me learn how to keep this fish successfully.

Not the best book if you are looking for captive care for angelfishes but has great photos. Each specie has 1-3 paragraphs describing its characteristics and there are care information at the end of the book. However, captive care are not given for individual species. Good printing and paper are nice. Good book for a casual read but if you want in depth care information for a specific species, you may want to try a different book.

un piccolo atlante per chi ama gli angeli del reef: dai centropyge nani agli angeli che mai potranno essere confinati in una vasca. Belle le foto, completa la rassegna, sono presenti consigli sull'allevamento di ogni specie, soprattutto c'è uno schema su come distinguere le varie livree giovanili. Spettacolo!

El libro está bien, aunque se queda un poco corto en las explicaciones de comportamiento de peces en acuario.

Sehr gut.

If you like marine angelfishes then this is the book for you. It is well presented and the photographs are just great.
