Baensch Aquarium Atlases

[backtotropical]

Does anyone have the full set of Baensch Aquarium Atlases? I have the 'summary' one and wondered if the other 5 are worth buying. They're not cheap at about £35GBP each. According to my LFs, they are the bibles of freshwater fish.

Yeah I got the full set, they are indespensible.

Buy them off Amazon, about £15 quid each

 

[J4MES]

by far the next best thing to fishbase
don't buy the hardbacks they make your wrists ache
go for the paperbacks and they are a lot cheaper.

I got the photo index which covers volumes 1 to 5 and also have volumes 1 to 4. I believe that volume 5 and above are also out but not yet published in English.

They really are indispensable.

I only found one volume at my library.

I love mine. Vol5 is only in German though. I would look for hardbacks, they are heavy and more expensive, but will last much longer with less damage.

Thanks very much guys. Looks like its a big thumbs up. I'll have to start looking for the best price.
