Characoids of the World

672 pages. Glossary. Bibliography. Index. Numerous colour photographic plates. "One of the most ambitious ichthyological works ever undertaken: the first modern survey of the suborder Characoidei, the group that includes harmless popular aquarium favorites like the cardinal and neon tetras as well as the much-romanticized (and much-maligned) piranhas and their relatives and such oddities as the blind cave fish. Tetras, pirahnaas, hatchet-fishes, headstanders and all of the other fishes that until comparatively recently were all lumped together in the family Characidae are here given their proper taxonomic placement and shown in correct perspective to each other." - from back board. Unmarked with average wear. Binding sound. Quality working copy.
