 i am a novive at cichlids I found this book very informative March 14, 2008
This is a great book for people who are starting out and also for those of you that already know about these amazing fish. I learned so much that I decided to buy 6 fish--so far all is great.
I would say this book is very useful!
 Many of the pictures are reproduced from tfh's collections January 8, 2008

I have many other books on cichlids published by tfh and I discovered that this book contained many pictures reproduced from earlier and old tfh publications. I was hoping to see some pretty interesting new pictures and information.
The information on individual fishes are rather basic stuff, most of it I was able to obtain from other literatures. I really do not think much effort was taken to produce this book. Being a diehard cichlidophile, this book merely adds up to my large collection of cichlid books.
 Latin is good for those who speak latin January 7, 2008
I like the book but honestly it should be more on common names and not the latin ones. I guess its mean those whostudy NOT buy cichlids.
Excellent Cichlid Book March 15, 2007

The Pocket Professional Guide to Cichlids is an excellent book for the care and identification of the gambit of cichlids from around the world. My only disapointment was the lack of some of the very rare cichlids in the hobby. However The Guide does cover most of the cichlids commonly and uncommonly kept in the hobby. A very good buy.
Nice compact volume, lots of good info, needs common name index January 18, 2007

Good reference book on looking up cichlids. Even my teen-agers who are getting into our new tank are spending some time reading through this book.
It has useful information on most species such as maximum size, water conditions, food needs, temperament & compatibility. With some species with color variations or closely related species, it uses common descriptions applicable to all of them, and shows photos of the variations.
But it is missing a common-name index which it sorely needs. Hence, only 4 stars.
