Out-dated but still valid.
This book is great for a wholesaler or store, or someone who is doing field research. But as someone who is trying to create a catalog of up-to-date species listings, it is lacking updates from older editions. Pictures of preserved specimens are used, that were used in older editions, and living specimens are readily available. But the index is well written in three forms that may need updates of the common names in the next edition maybe?

outdated
most of the photos are old and not very nice - missing are common names and explanation for each genus of common features - behaviour...
I don't reco.

Great reference book, but must know how to use it
This book is not for lazy people , have a lot of fishes and information about fishes on it, but you must learn to read this book, because the info is on simbols and the reference is in the index.
Once you know how to use this book, it can be of great help identifying fish ,their origins, foods, care, and needs.
All i have to say is, if you want a book about fishes, and want to learn a lot about them, this is the book that you are looking for.
