I have Kasselmann's and Walsted's, with only the Tropica and Oriental Aquarium volumes as inspirational references. The next book I'll get is Lake and River Ecosystems, Robert G. Wetzel. And I'll probably just confine any future book purchases to understanding the environments and ecosystems the fish and plants come from. The Atlases would be nice, but I could not justify the expense, especially when I find I can get the same information, with more current information, from the web. An extremely abbreviated list of what I consider the most basic starting points: For fish - http://www.webcityof.com/mifftitl.htm http://www.funet.fi/pub/sci/bio/life/warp/index.html http://mongabay.com http://www.fishbase.org/search.html?server=IFM-Kiel For plants - http://www.webcityof.com/aplhome.htm http://plants.usda.gov/index.html http://www.nmnh.si.edu/botany/projects/cpd/index.htm http://aquat1.ifas.ufl.edu/ (followed by a large list of university and/or research sites focused on specific geographical or taxonomic aquatic plant divisions) For Saltwater - http://www.coris.noaa.gov/ http://www.piscoweb.org/cgi-bin/qml/newalgaequery.qml http://hercules.kgs.ku.edu/hexacoral/anemone2/nmita.cfm (followed by an enormous number of marvelous sites based on region or specie) Who needs books? <g> -d |
