Baensch Cichlid Atlas, Vol. 2 (v. 2) Hardcover – December 31, 2006

The book is not for the beginning and intermediate aquarist, a very technical and very complete treatise of the South American Dwarf cichlids. It is easy to tell that the book is translated from German because of some obvious mispellings of many words. If you are an advanced aquarist interested in that family, it is a valuable resource and a must buy though a little pricey. It was not designed to be a picture book but a advanced treatise on the subject.

The contents may be good enough for some experts, but not me.I like to see some new and interesting species pictures, but only few and not qualified.

Excellent book exceptional value for the price. It is a book to hang onto will be able to review it over and over. Wish it was available in hard cover.

Es una muy buena fuente de información.

洋書なので読めませんが、写真に期待していましたが思ったより多い事が良かった。

Good book as a general reference point for dwarf cichlid enthusiasts.Would recommend the first book over this one though as most commonly found D Cichlids are found in this.4 stars only as the translation from German to English is a little dubious at points although this does not spoil the book.

Lack of description on these books makes them hard to choose between. I bought Cichlid Atlas v2 and really its pointless unless you want a book on South American Apistogramma cichlids.Unfortunatly a complete waste of money really.
