Can anyone recommend some good books on SA Dwarf Cichlids? My experience has only been with Apistos so far but I'm open to other South American dwarf types too. I have "Dwarf Cichlids: A Handbook for Their Identification, Care, and Breeding" by Horst Linke and Wolfgang Staeck, but I've heard that there are a bunch of mistakes and outdated information in it. Thanks!

Hi Luther,

Dr. Romers Cichlid Atlas was recommended to me. I bought it and wasn't disappointed at all. It's about 75% apistogrammas and 25% other South American dwarfs. It's probably the best book out there on the subject, but perhaps others may know of another one.

It also covers biology, sex ratios, and more. It also has an identification key.

I got mine from Apistogramma Study Group for a good deal:

Dave Soares (ApistoDave) offers a slightly better deal:

monroe, or
One more vote for the 'Cichlid Atlas 1' by Romer. I find myself going through it a couple times a week.
