AQUALOG: All About Shrimps, Crayfishes, and Crabs in the fresh- and brackish-water aquarium and paludarium

Great book for those needing help with shrimp care. It is a bit expensive for an older book.

Great book with some very detailed information on certain species. A must have for and ornamental freshwater shrimp fan!

Very basic information, nothing new here, can learn more watching shrimp keepers on YouTube

Perfect condition. Bought it as a xmas present and he loved it!

Well-Worth the Price. Told me everything I needed to know!

Lovely book on crustaceans.

love the book

This book is a much better version of the first Aqualog special by the same author. Infact, it has much more pages of excellent information regarding scientific information on crustaceans, on how to keep them in captivity and breeding. I cannot refrain from mentioning the excellent photos and their exact corresponing scientific names referring to them. Some of the photos are taken by the reknowned Chris Lukhaup.I love this book which unfortunately was published exactly when Sulawesi shrimp were still in their initial stages of spreading in the hobby worldwide. Still there are some photos of these shrimp included in the last part of this book.For sure, 'All About Shrimps, Crayfishes, and Crabs in the fresh- and brackish-water aquarium and paludarium' by Uwe Werner is a must have for all shrimp and other crustacean unthusiast especially for those who are into keeping them in aquaria and paludaria. Unfortunately, this Aqualog book together with the first one issued before are the only serious attempts in English language so far to my knowledge. There are so many books in german language which unfortunately are not yet translated for us hobbyists.Thumbs up for this book!!!!

This is a great book with loads and loads of information - but just didn't delivery everything that I wanted.There are pages and pages on shrimps, crayfish and crabs all wonderfully well written and illustrated. Identification and some information on keeping these interesting creatures. However in the end I felt that it was neither a text book requiring me to study it - nor a book that one reads for pleasure. There is so little written on keeping shrimps that maybe I felt that more info was needed. I am not use to the Aqualog format just identifying animals or maybe it is that it is a translation but I felt a little let down.

Good read but covers species that one would hardly commonly keep in a tank. A bit more focused on the realities of the amateur aquarist would help. I don't think a) I would be wanting to keep some of the species in this book and b) would be able to buy half of them from a shop! I wanted more on the shrimp etc that most of us are interested in keeping, not some of the monsters covered here.

The only probleme is that there is no instruction for the reproduction of these animals but it's still complete with a lot of unknown species
