Short description:
African Catfishes are a special multifarious fish group. Since
decades the Catfishes of the species
Squeakers are very known and popular in the aquaristic
practice. These multiple stylish patterned, bizarre
fishes are cared often in Malawi- or Tanganjika-Aquariums.
Now, with The Catfishes of Africa we are able to offer the
first book, which presents all African Catfishes
in a survey. Many photos show each drawn fish species the
first time generally. Also, the sience does not
know all African Catfishes, others are known already but they
have not been supplied with scientific
names. The author Dr. Lothar Seegers describes some of
them for the first time and gives them valid
names. A lot of Catfishes reveal a fascinating behaviour. For
example the aquarians were those, who
noticed the strange reproductive behaviour of the Cuckoo
Catfish as spawn parasites or the snout spawn
caring of several Tanganyika Squeakers. So this extensive
book is not only a systematic overall view, but
also it gives advices for care and spawn of the aquaristic
known species. The Details about the habitats of these fishes
are particularly valuable. The author, who is an enthusiastic
outdoor scientist himself,
gathered such a complete and impressive overall view in
meticulous work.
The getup of this clothbound book of the good quality
specialist book of the Tetra Verlag GmbH is setting
an example with its 608 pages and more than 1100 color
photos, numberless draws and maps of spread.
Further the hard cover book will be available in a german and
in an english version.
