Caesar Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Hey guys, I have just purchased Baensch Aquarium Atlas No 1 from Ben at AOA, for a bit of light reading and thought I would ask any ones opinion of this book. I haven't received it yet but it looked like the best value for money book I could see at the time. I am trying to expand my knowledge beyond cichlids and was hoping this would provide me with some info on tropicals, cold water etc. Any thoughts??

r.d.m Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 its an excellent book full of good info the only downside is that its a bit dated having been first published in 1962,but still a good read Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caesar Posted April 10, 2006 Author Share Posted April 10, 2006 So does that mean Atlas number 2 and Atlas number 3 are the newest versions? Or do they cover different fish etc. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormboy Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 The Baench Atlases are a great resource but are more of an overvew of a lot of different fish rather than an in depth look at any one in particular. Great for what you seem to want. I have the first 3 freshwater atlases and they are probably my most utilised book on my shelf. Books 2 and 3 are additional to the original, not just newer editions. I think there is a 4th FW atlas as well but that may just be in german? Also, there is a specialist one on Apistos called "Cichlid Atlas" which is quite a lot more detailed than atlases 1-3. -Mat- PS love the avatar Jason, I've seen the rest of the picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
