The Cichlid Fishes Nature's Grand Experiment in Evolution by George
W. Barlow
Description: Cichlid fishes are amazing creatures. In
terms of sheer number of species, they are the most successful of all families
of vertebrate animals, and the extent and speed with which they have evolved in
some African lakes has made them the darlings of evolutionary biologists. But
what truly captivates biologists like George Barlow--not to mention thousands of
aquarists the world over--is the complexity of their social lives and their
devotion to family (most species of cichlids are monogamous and many pairs share
the responsibility of raising offspring). In this wonderful book, Barlow
describes the unusually high intelligence of these fishes, their complex mating
and parenting rituals, their bizarre feeding and fighting habits, and the
unusual adaptations and explosive rate of speciation that have enabled them to
proliferate and flourish. A celebration of their diversity, The Cichlid Fishes
is also a marvelous exploration of how these unique animals might help resolve
the age-old puzzle of how species arise and evolve. 335 pages, hardcover, 2000 $20.00

everything from the tiny South American Scoloplax dicra less than an inch long to the
better than six-foot-long giant Pangasianodon gigas from the Mekong River in Southeast
Asia. The text treats the catfishes family by family, giving for each the morphological
characters as well as any biological information that may be available. Further
discussions include biological information as well as spawning procedures for those
species where it is known. At the end of each family write-up is included a complete
checklist of the genera and species where it is known. This checklist of catfish species
of the world has never been offered before and should be of great usefulness to scientists
as well as aquarists. To complement the extensive text are 285 full color plates (over
1700 photos) of catfishes from all over the world. It is the best catfish identification
