Aquarium Plants

1977 book by Karel Rataj and Thomas Horeman published by TFH in 1977. At the time it was published it was by far the best book ever written on the subject, especially for Cryptocorynes.

Aquarium Fishes and Plants

A brief write up and watercolour picture of a couple of dozen species, one plant and fish per page. Unprecedented for the rarity of the Cryptocorynes illustrated.
