The
Nature of Corydoras is firstly about solving an X file.
Why should two catfishes share an identical colour
pattern? In order to solve this natural mystery, the
author spawned and maintained laboratory groups of species
for years and traveled an incredible length of the Amazon
River, from Manaus to Sao Gabriel, on the Upper Rio Negro.
He researched Corydoras names, body shapes, colour
patterns, ecology, habitats, behavior and genetics. The
answer to the original question can be found in six years
of research encapsulated within this CD-ROM. What applies
to Corydoras adolfoi and Corydoras imitator applies to
every other species pairing known and now the truth about
long and round headed species is finally available. Enjoy
over a hundred colour pictures, tables, charts and over 30
minutes of unique video sequences and, above all, the
original thesis text with easy glossary access to
technical terms. Then, with leading scientist and hobbyist
Dr David Sands, understand more about the nature of fish keeping's
favorite catfishes.

The Red Tailed
Catfish is the ultimate tropical fish for aquarists.
Keeping a catfish that can grow over a metre and becomes
hand tame is the ultimate challenge for the enthusiast,
who must be prepared to spend a fortune to avoid keeping
'A Golden Eagle in a birdcage' to quote Dr David Sands'
text. Following on from Dr. Sands' definitive book for
captive Phractocephalus first published in 1995, this CD
ROM edition not only updates the text and adds unique
video film and photographs of Red Tailed Catfishes in
captivity, including Gary Mobey's group of swimming pool
catfishes, hybrids, and fossils, but also includes
historical Red Tailed Catfish Club survey documentation. A
must for anyone interested in this magnificent giant among
South American catfishes.

Amazonian
Fishes and their habitat
Author:
Peter Henderson
Many of the most
popular aquarium fish originate in Amazonia; even more
species rarely reach aquarists' tanks or literature.
Anyone
interested in either the fish or the ecology of the region
will find this CD invaluable. The habitats are discussed
fully, including water chemistry data. Whether your fish
are from lakes, rivers, streams, and black, white or clear
waters, you will find essential information for providing
the conditions that will suit them best. Information is
not limited to the fish; plants, animals, birds, and even
human life is discussed to provide a remarkable insight
into Amazonia. With hundreds of original colour
photographs, maps, and diagrams, Peter Henderson provides
one of the most complete reference works about the region
to be published, which will satisfy the most determined
researcher or hobbyist. Many of the species pictured have
never before been seen in aquarium literature.
