Pete Cottle reviews<br />
Frreshwatterr – Trropiicall<br />
Barrbs & ttheiirr sub--speciies<br />
by Miike Dewarr<br />
Mike has written a book <strong>of</strong> some 150 pages jam-packed with information on<br />
the various species <strong>of</strong> Barbs. In many instances, he gives detailed<br />
information on the keeping (or NOT) and breeding <strong>of</strong> them.<br />
As a reference book it is extremely useful – particularly when it comes to<br />
the differences between P. denisonii and P. chalakudiensis and the ‘other’<br />
two, Puntius arulias and tambraparnei. Then, again so many fish keepers<br />
still think they have Puntius tetrazona in their tanks (the Tiger Barb) but as<br />
Mike explains, they really have Puntius anchisporus!<br />
The subject <strong>of</strong> Barbs is a large and complex one and I applaud Mike for his<br />
dedication and hard work in producing this book.<br />
This book at the very modest price <strong>of</strong> £19.50 post free is well worth<br />
purchasing. It can be obtained by an email to Mike at<br />
