Written by an expert, its got a whole big section on diseases, water quality, foods (including culturing live food), an exhaustive species inventory with pictures of the habitat etc. in fact fantastic piccies all round, sheer quality.

Rainbows are great fish to keep they show fantastic behavioural observations you need atleast 2 pairs and if you can get the tank to receive natural morning sunlight the males will give the most amazing ventral display everyday.

I recently bought some rainbows that I though as a child I would never even see - I only ever saw them in Axelrods mini atlas about 20yrs ago - Glossolepsis wannamensis
