I waited for a few days in hopes of someone who may have read this book would comment. WOW Its pretty sad and disappointing that no-one on this specialist catfish forum has read this book! How many posts about RTCs are here? How many RTC owners are here?
It seems this is a BIBLE for large cats. Planet Catfish has rated it highly. For the sake of others here is what they had to say:
===========================================================
That a book should have been written specifically about one species is quite significant, and clearly demonstrates the importance of this catfish and the esteem in which it is held. The book answers all the questions any owner of one of these catfish could possibly ask about the conditions needed to maintain these fish in a healthy and humane manner. It contains detailed advice regarding water quality, water changes, filtration, feeding, tank size pro rata to fish size, health problems, transporting and acclimatising.
There is an interesting chapter on the fishes in their natural habitat and their importance as a food fish within the Amazon basin and the commercial fisheries of the region. I feel that a lot of this information could be equally useful to enthusiasts who are keeping other large species of predatory Amazonian catfish that require similar conditions.
It is very obvious that a massive amount of detailed research has gone into the production of this book, along with the personal experience of the long-term keeping of this magnificent species in captivity.
