1200 Tropical Fish - by Mitsuhiro Iwasaki (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

A specialist in tropical fish illustration, Mitsuhiro Iwasaki has used Computer Assisted Design (CAD) software to make illustrations of the most interesting tropical fish, meticulously drawn to scale.

This is one of the world's most comprehensive encyclopedias of tropical fish. In addition to the color illustrations, each is described by:

• Scientific and common name
• Body length
• Habitat in the wild, according to species.

Because architectural CAD is used in the illustrations, one can easily distinguish species by very subtle differences, such as patterns, fin folds, and shapes.

There is a very large market for tropical aquarium owners, dealers and enthusiasts, who will now have an affordable reference to the fish of the warm waters of the world.

Sections include:

• Anabas
• Ancientfish
• Badidae
• Catfish
• Characiformes
• Cichlids
• Cryptiniforms
• Loach
• Poecillidae
• Puffers
• Rainbowfish
• Snakehead
• Others.
