This book is designed exclusively for divers and aquarium hobbyists.
Covering all the world's species - 83 angelfishes and 121 butterflyfishes - it is the first comprehensive guide to these popular families.
Few other fishes are so intimately related to the coral environment as butterflyfish and angelfish and none exhibit such a remarkable array of dazzling colour patterns.
Every species is illustrated in full colour, with extra photographs provided for the very different juvenile and sex-related forms of some angelfishes.
This valuable reference contains a wealth of information pertaining to behaviour, life history, distribution and aquarium maintenance.
