N-511 Killifishes of the world - New World Killis
(Aqualog 14)
By : Seegers, L. (Aqualog) $73.95N-511 Sup1 Supplement 1 for Killifishes of the world - New World Killis (Aqualog 14) (Aqualog) $3.09
Description: Although in the 70s and 80s it was the "Dark Continent" of Africa which continually provided new and beautiful killifishes never before seen, since then, it has become increasingly apparent that South America is also home to killifishes which are in no way inferior to their Old World cousins in terms of interesting behaviour and coloration. In the last few years not only new species, but also several new genera, have been discovered there. At present a total of 36 different genera are known from the New World, as opposed to "only" 22 on the other side of the Atlantic. The latter have already been covered comprehensively in the two AQUALOG volumes of "Old World
Killies".
The American killifishes are also extraordinarily diverse in form, as will be quite apparent from this latest volume. This book is the first in the entire history of
the aquarium hobby - and ichthyology - to provide this kind of full and comprehensive overview of the New World killifishes using colour photographs. This applies to the North
American species as well as those of the South American continent. A full
overview of the genus Cyprinodon is provided, even including some forms that are now extinct.As well as the aforementioned
Cyprinodon, the species of the genera Cynolebias, Pterolebias, Rivulus, and
Simpsonichthys, as well as the Fundulus species of North America, are focal points of this volume, which, however, also includes the representatives of the many other smaller genera.As with all AQUALOG pictorial volumes, supplements to this book will be published over the years to come in order to ensure that it remains totally up-to-date.

The ingenious code number system labels every known or newly discovered fish with an individual code number. This number remains, despite any scientific renaming. Moreover, it enables you to communicate internationally about any fish without the danger of confusion regarding local names!Your AQUALOG -reference book always stays up-to-date!
