The Aquarium by SCHULTE Contents; A historical and literary critique; Piranhas in
myths, rites and in the everyday life of south American Indians; Piranha biology; Range
and ecology; Keeping and maintenance; Breeding; Taxonomic Survey; Fishing; 1988, hardback,
over 100 Color photos & Drawings, 128 pages, Is there any freshwater fish that is as
feared as the dreaded South American fish called the Piranha? Perhaps the Great White
Shark of the oceans is just as "popular and equally feared, but no one has yet been
able to keep a Great White in a home aquarium. You can, however, keep any species of
piranha in an aquarium if the aquarium is large enough. The present author, Wolfgang
Schulte, is an expert on piranhas. He went to South America to collect them and learn
about them first hand, and he gives us information not available from any other source. We
can read about how they exist in fact and fiction; how they can be successfully maintained
in an aquarium. The author also deals with feeding, breeding and the social problems
involved with keeping piranhas in a home aquarium. In some parts of the world, keeping or
importing piranhas in strictly forbidden. The value of this book is further enhanced by
the addition of more than 100 color illustrations. $10.00

fishes generally known loosely as piranhas. Highly regarded by many in the aquarium field
for both their interesting habits and their good looks, they are almost equally feared and
hated by others for their supposed savagery and the dangers they pose. Somewhere between
the two extremes lies the truth about piranhas, and this book sets out to find it.
