Ingo Seidel - Back to Nature Guide to L-Catfishes
The armored catfish family (Loricariidae), with more than 700 described species, is one of the largest and most varied groups of fishes known to Man. Until a few years ago these catfishes played only an insignificant role in our aquaria, but nowadays they have become the height of fashion.
Since the latter part of 1988, when a number of new and sometimes exceptionally colorful loricariidae catfish species were first imported, a real catfish boom has sprung into life. Around 500 species new to the aquarium hobby have been imported, and these sometimes vary quite significantly in their requirements. The object of this book is to provide both beginner and more experienced aquarist with an introduction to not only the maintenance but also the breeding of these fishes. It covers some 390 of the most important and most interesting L-number catfishes, listed alphabetically by genus and species, and illustrated in full color.

Kamil Vanko - Aranyhalakat tartunk
Az akváriumi halfajták "ranglistáján" a közönséges és a fátyolfarkú aranyhalak kezdettől fogva megkülönböztetett helyet foglalnak el. Az aranyhal tartásáról szóló első információk az egyik legjelentősebb kínai dinasztia, a Sung-dinasztia uralkodásának idejéből (1960-1279) származnak. Később az aranyhalak átterjedtek Japánba is, majd a nagy utazó Marco Polo jóvoltából az európai kontinensre is eljutottak. Nagyon közkedveltek voltak XV. Lajos francia király udvarában is. Napjainkban a fátyolfarkú aranyhalak szinte az egész világon elterjedtek, mivel nemcsak akváriumban, hanem mesterséges tavakban is tarthatók. Az Aranyhalakat tartunk című könyvecskéből megtudhat az olvasó mindent, amit az akváriumi halak e fajtájának tartásáról, azaz megfelelő táplálásukról, szaporodásukról, ápolásukról, a megfelelő akváriumi növényekről és a fátyolfarkú aranyhalak egyes változatairól tudni kell.
