There's one in German (by me :) ): "Kugelfische im Meerwasseraquarium". However, I don't think it has been translated into English, yet.

Aw, shucks. I quit German after one semester. Frau was not impressed. She'd say "I bite your butt." :( Still haven't figured out what that means.

Thanks though!

I bought that book...it's pretty expensive for its size and is highly scientific in approach. Not a real easy or fun read though. Aesthetically, it's real bad, but contains a lot of valuable info if you want general, widespread info. Feels like an almanac....or something you get from a professor. There aren't really alternatives I've seen. No nice coffee table book.

Don't mean to diss the book...it's just terribly in need of a marketer's help with layout and accessibility.

I'm working on something tho...for the GSP. :)
