Ted Dengler Coletti, Ph.D. One of the founders of the Northeast Livebearer Association Founder of Aquarium Hobby Historical Society | Written by an expert on livebearing fish, this comprehensive yet easy-to-read guide offers advice on a wide range of care issues from diet and nutrition to species selection and health care. Livebearer species covered include the popular platies, mollies, swordtails, and guppies. Livebearers, unlike most other fish, don't lay eggs-they give birth to live young. This ability offers aquarists the exciting opportunity to raise these unique fish from the time they are tiny newborns until they reach adulthood. Popular and widely available, livebearers include guppies, platies, swordtails, and mollies. Aquarium Care of Livebearers unlocks the fascinating world of these fish, showing you how to set up and maintain the best tank for them. Written by an experienced livebearer hobbyist, this comprehensive guide will help you successfully keep any livebearer healthy and happy for many generations over many years. |

Lothar Wischnath Publisher:- TFH Publications Inc Date Published 1993 | Very informative, hardbound book, with high gloss pages and with amazing color photos. Wild livebearing species is covered well in the first half of this book, and in the second part of this book, there is an informative section on domesticated aquarium strains of swordtails, and other livebearers with great breeding information. The information in this book is informative for the hobby but some of this information is considered dated with the development of newer strains. Should be on the bookshelf of all livebearer hobbyists. |
