    Hi guys,



    This 220 pages full color Chinese publication from Taiwan was recently seen at Aquarama. Published by Wiser Publications, it's a great pictorial with lots of good information (especially Chinese names), but only if you are well versed with Chinese. The photography in this publication can rival, if not better, those found in Japanese publications.

    With the recent interest in South American Dwarf cichlids, I thought this might be of interest for those who may have missed it. Retailing for NT$1200, the book should cost between S$60 to S$80 locally, but I don't think I have seen it in the shops. If anyone has seen it, please advise.

    Thanks!

    Cheers,

    p.s. For those who knows my handphone number, drop me an SMS if you want a copy. I may carry them back from Taipei if I can manage it.
    I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?

    Just picked up a copy. Only S$50 a copy. Save about S$20 to S$30.

    Fairly comprehensive. Like the picture book feel. Very much like the earlier pleco edition that Wiser put out earlier.

    Cheers,

    The basics are there, but it's considered outdated, even by the Taiwanese.

    One of the LFS in Taipei. I'm getting some for the members here on my next trip up. If you are not in a hurry, wait for me to organise an order next week or the week after amongst our little group.

    You're only bringing in 10 copies or more if there's an increase i demand?

    It's a book with great pics, what language is it in by the way? I'll be keen to get one myself.

    Will talk to you on Friday. What time will you be in shop Fri evening?

    Caca,
    Benny has personal commitments so he can't travel for some time.

    I suggest you get it from C328?

    By the way, are there good information about specific species in this book?
    ID techniques, breeding techniques, etc?

    Maybe one of us here can share reviews on this book?
