Summary: too basic/not enough useful information
Comment: I had great expectations from this book but found it very dissappointing. As a new hobbyist I was hoping that this book would give me an idea on how to set up a tank and all the information required for keeping my fish happy but the book was very vague and did not talk about the very marked variation in the different types of cichlids and their needs. The basic tank set-up did not talk about how to introduce new fish into the tank or about the numbers of fish suitable in a tank. Although it mentioned all the equipment it did not really discuss what important features a new hobbyist should be looking for when buying equipment. This book can be used a begginers introduction to Mbuna but not really worth the money.

Summary: insufficient
Comment: Mary Sweeney's "The Proper Care of Malawi Cichlids" only covers Mbuna cichlids. More than half of the book talks about tank setup that is all common sense. She overemphasizes obvious points and barely covers or doesn't cover at all the important information. The pictures are not varied enough - alot of pictures of the exact same fish. I think this book would be better titled "Proper Care of Mbuna Cichlids of Lake Malawi". I am very disappointed in this book.
