Similar to his previous books, Steven Grant gives an overview of the families, genera and species of Asian freshwater catfish. Due to the large number of families and species on the continent, Steve focuses on the best known catfish, but also describes and shows many rarer species and some of their habitats. Over 500 images by top fish photographers and researchers, depicting over 250 species from 13 families and 69 genera. The book gives an overview of each of the families, genera and species and describes how they are identified, their ecology, etymology, size and how to keep and even breed them in the aquarium. This book will be of interest to both the beginner and the catfish specialist, and it is hoped that it will also be of interest to ichthyologists. You could call it volume 3 of Steven’s treatise on catfish!
