Detail:  Over the last two decades the number of African killifishes available to hobbyists has more than doubled, with numerous new and sensational species being described and imported. Never have killifish hobbyists had such a selection of gorgeous fishes from which to choose. For the first time, the Atlas of Killifishes of the Old World presents the hobbyist and ichthyologist with a detailed coverage of all the African and Asian rivulin killifishes with emphasis on photographic coverage.

The inclusion of a complete checklist of all the Old World killifishes, including Aphanius and the Lampeyes, is unique to this volume. Without doubt this is an essential reference for anyone with even a passing interest in the colourful and often bizarre killifishes of Africa and Asia.
