Finally got my copy. Ordered in December and it arrived yesterday. Someone apparently walked it over from wherever it came from. But it's great, so the wait was worth it!
Mine arrived yesterday after spending a week in the post office as it was I was out when they tried to deliver it. Read and re-read twice since I opened it up. Simply Superb. This is how Aquarium books should be written.
So many species of fish yet so little time, space and money to keep them all...
As soon as I saw the ad for the book in TFH, I freaked out and begged my parents to get it. They sent in, and now I finnally have the new loach book! It is the greatest! I was really excited to find that it gave a detailed description of care for S. Longiventralis. It also had excellent information for other loaches, like B. Almorhae and Kubotai. The book has such great information! To those here who helped write this book, nice work! You have made the world a much better place for loaches. I've skimmed through the profiles, read the first few chapters and i'm reading it wherever i go.
