The Bichir Handbook - OUT NOW!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
My Bichir Handbook came yesterday but My Daughter said I couldn't open package until Christmas. That's ok I'll probably have it in my hands a hundred times lol.
In the same boat. We got it in the mail a week or so ago. I can't wait!
 
How is everyone finding the book?

Be sure to leave a review:

We're no longer sold out, have a load of new books back in stock which arrived a couple of weeks ago.
 
It's a great book.
Probably the geet fish book I ever owned. I love the layout. All the species info.
It's literally the perfect reference
I also got the aqualog which is pretty rubbish and the first thing I read was wrong
 
Is the second edition being sold yet? Prefer to have the latest classification changes.

Hi, the book was only printed in Nov 2020, I don't believe there have been any classification changes since then? We even had a review last month in the Journal of Fish Biology by Timo Moritz who did the latest revision of extant Polypteridae.

We are nearly out of the second print run (which has a few minor changes to it, mainly a couple of comments regarding spawning of some species).

If there has been changes, please let me know. I'm preparing a third print run, so can update if needed.

I looked at https://thebichirhandbook.com/
under "What's the next book" link that indicates a revised second edition is underway. Maybe that webpage needs correction?

Will the third print have additional changes? Adding new spawning comments to second print would make me regret buying the first print run.
