Books are invaluable to all fish owners, from beginner to advanced. Here are my top choices for books about Livebearers.
Aqualogs are designed to maintain consistency fish identification, regardless of nomenclature changes. Each fish has at least one color photo, basic information, and a description. Regular updates are published to keep the original volume up to date. This volume covers guppies, mollies, swordtails, platys as well as other less common livebearers
A short, but easy to read book by livebearer expert Dr. Axelrod. Covers habitat requirements, care and breeding, and is packed with many excellent photos.
In addition to stunning photos, this little book covers aquarium setup, care, disease treatment, and breeding. Well worth the purchase price.
Covers both swordtails and platies, including information about habitat requirements, breeding, and health care. Contains plenty of full color photos. Because it covers both swords and platies, there is less information on each species. Otherwise a great book for the selling price.
Anyone who has wrestled with determining the differences between guppies, mollies and platies will find this book very useful. The author is very knowledgeable about the subject, and writes in an easy to read style. Well worth the investment if you keep livebearers.
If your passion is platies, this book will delight you with it's great photos. Covering habitat, care, breeding, and treating disease, it's a good addition to your library.
Part of the Bowtie Press 'Fishkeeping Made Easy' series. Easy to read, inexpensive, it covers all the basics. Good reference book for beginners.
This is a very large reference book with many high quality photos. Makes a great coffee table book, but also has a good deal of practical information about a variety of livebearers.
A bit pricey, and rather short, this volume focuses on breeding livebearers.
