book suggestions

Post by krb »

I'm new to these forums, but I've been keeping fish for years. It's so much fun.

My wife wanted to know what I wanted for father's day. I couldn't thing of anything other than a book on catfishes. I like corydoras, but would really love to start breading plecos, especialy bristlenose and hopefully zebra's one day.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
krb

I recently got this book.
"bristlenoses catfish with character by Kathy Jinkings"
It is the only book I have so far specifically about catfish and it is very interesting book.

I also have Baensch Aquarium Altas there are several volumes
I only have the first 3 so far,they are useful as a reference and then read up further on the fish that interest you .

The two Aqualog pleco posters would make a nice but inexpensive gift. Your LFS can order them.
