The interest in catifsh and loaches has increased dramatically in recent years, both for specimen fish that are kept individually or in species aquarium, and for species that can be added to a community aquarium. In this Hobbyist Guide the husbandry and breeding of a range of catfish and loaches is described. Information is provided not only on the commonly available and popular species, but also for those which have recently been introduced to the hobby. Edited by ornamental fish authorities Dr. Paul Loiselle and Dr. David Pool, this book is essential reading for anyone with an interest in this interesting group of fishes.
