	Dwarf Cichlid Book Recommendations?
JazzyB Enthusiast Posts: 181 Kudos: 101 Votes: 0 Registered: 18-Nov-2003	Hi all, I'm looking to buy some dwarf cichlid books and was wondering if anyone could provide some decent recommendations of the best books available. The books I'm looking to buy are: 1) American Cichlids I : Dwarf Cichlids: A Handbook for Their Identification, Care & Breeding (Horst Linke and Wolfgang Staeck) 2) African Cichlids, Vol. I : Cichlids from West Africa: A Handbook for Their Identification, Care & Breeding (Horst Linke and Wolfgang Staeck) 3) Cichlid Atlas (Uwe Romer). If you have any additional suggestions please let me know ASAP. Thanks, J:88) Last edited by JazzyB at 22-Nov-2004 23:36

Despite their age, they have good information about the fish and I still find them useful. Not sure about other good books about dwarfs, though. The Burkowitz book Dwarf Cichlids is VERY beginner and had very little useful information about each species. If you're interested in dwarf cichlids and either have, or can make, hard water, Tanganyika has a host of small cichlids and any book by Konings is great. Eric
