Exotic Aquarium Fishes by Dr. William Innes. anyone ever had this book?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
No but I have the ''Axelrod mini atlas of freshwater aquarium fishes, 3rd edition'' from 2004 in it is for the most part obsolete. Incorrect names with pics as well. They have Festae label on a mayan picture.... and many others.
 
I have this book, one of the 50s edition. I enjoy reading vintage hobby books.

I also has this nonfiction book called confessions of a fish doctor. Fun read, but it recommends a silver aro in a 55 gallon.
 
yeah I have this book, interesting to note that the Neon Tetra (Paracheirodon innesi) is named after this exact man! I'm sure it was also him who discovered the Cardinal Tetra too.

That sneaky Axelrod takes all the glory!

Aquatics Lesson for the day :)

edit: I have 2 copies of this book, 1 is an original print from 1935 :WHOA::WHOA::WHOA: and the second is from 1952. Wonder if the 1st edition is worth anything....

I have a fifth printing (1944) and a T.F.H. published edition from 1966. Awesome book, I especially like the old color plates.
