The
following is a list of books related to African cichlids.
Each listing provides a direct link to an Amazon.com page where you
may purchase the book if you like. I have read only a few of them so
I really can't offer much advice as to which ones will best fit your needs.
However, in most cases the Amazon.com page will give a brief description
of
the book along with several customer reviews of the book.
For those who want to learn more about African cichlids,
these books are a great place to start!

by Ad Konings "This book is excellent for someone who is more interested in identifying lake malawi fish as opposed to general information on how to properly keep these fish in a home aquarium. Also included are photos of many non-cichlid species of fish (catfish, etc.) found in Lake Malawi. The pictures are great and there is a whole lot of information on lake malawi and the general characteristics of each fish." |

by Tijs Goldschmidt and Sherry Marx-Macdonald (Translator) "On one level, the story is about the speciation and extinction through predation by Nile perch and human fisherman of hundreds of cichlid species in Lake Victoria. On a another level, the book is the intellectual adventure of a field zoologist trying to understand cichlids by reviewing evolutionary ideas and observations in other species and applying them to what he is observing. So, in addition to cichlids, readers learn about DNA, how natural selection creates evolution, the benefits of sickle-cell anemia, mimicry in butterflies, sexual selection in sticklebacks, the niches of different species of vultures, life among Tanzanians, and more. Original Dutch version was nominated for two science writing awards and one literature award." |
