Bubblenest-builders, Mouthbrooders, Fighting Fish, Climbing Perches, Paradise Fish, Kissing Gouramis and Croaking Gouramis: This is the world of Labyrinths. The family of Labyrinths is probably the most impressive and colourful among fishes.
For the first time ever in the history of the hobby, you now have a compact reference book in which all known Labyrinths are presented in full-coloured photographs by well-known photographers. Also, all colour, local and other variations, and all aquarium strains are shown.
Further, this book provides a determination key to the genera Betta. This book immediately became the No. 1 identification lexicon of Betta societies the world over!
The groups Snakeheads, Nandids, Badis and Pristolepis are also shown completely. Although these fish are, scientifically speaking, not Labyrinths, they show many parallels.
Newly introduced or discovered species and varieties are published as supplementary stickers that can be inserted into the specially printed back section of the book so that your Aqualog book will always be up-to-date.
