Now, for the first time, "The Catfishes of Africa" is a book that presents an overview of all African catfishes. Many of the photos show the species of fish depicted here for the first time ever. Some are described for the first time by the author, Dr Lothar Seegers, in this book and are given a valid name. The comprehensive book not only provides a systematic overview of the African catfishes, but also gives advice on the care and breeding of species known to aquarists. Particularly valuable are the many details about the habitats of these fish, which the author, himself an avid field researcher in Africa, has painstakingly gathered and, for the first time, brought together in such a complete and impressive overview.

Primordial Crayfish Primer

Primordial Crayfish PrimerPrehistoric crabs lived on our planet before the dinosaurs. They have the fascination of living fossils.

Today the aquarist is a recognised expert and experienced practitioner in the field of ecology, aquarium equipment, breeding, care, reproduction and socialisation of prehistoric crayfish in the aquarium. In addition to the well-known brine shrimp Artemia (also known as fish food), the author shows in this practical handbook how to keep, breed and feed prehistoric crustaceans in an aquarium world that will delight young and old.
