Be prepared to spend a fortune to avoid keeping ‘A Golden Eagle in a birdcage’ to quote Dr David Sands's text. This 2007 CD ROM edition not only updates the text but also includes unique video film and photographs of Red Tailed Catfishes in captivity including Gary Mobey’s group of swimming pool catfishes. There is information and photographs of hybrids and the fossil record is discussed. Included is also historical RTCC survey documentation.

G’Day David,
Well, my CD and handbook arrived in Australia yesterday, 22/10/07. Thank you for signing my book. I would like to say how happy I am that I bought both the CD and the handbook, thankyou for prompting me in this direction. Both the CD and the book are excellent, the information is very valuable and the pictures and video are great. I have now gained a greater appreciation of these magnificent creatures and a new respect for those aquarists that can successfully maintain them. The breeding report was amazing!! It was well worth the substantial investment (don’t forget how weak the poor Aussie dollar is to the pound) to get these publications. I can thoroughly recommend these products to anybody with an interest in large fish and large catfishes in particular. Thankyou. Best regards,
Kenneth Gordon, Australia.

Dear David
Thanks so much for the CD Rom. Wow!
I loved the more intricate Amazon habitat and ecology details such as the leaf-staining and substrate analysis which can be very useful when used in aquarium terms. I loved the shoaling behaviour analysis and breeding photographs. I also liked the descriptions of new Corydoras species, especially Corydoras duplicareus because I bought some that were sold to me as Corydoras adolfoi and they look so similar. I have always been fascinated with colour-pattern sharing in these little catfishes and the CD Rom answered all my questions and more. I hadn't realised so much genetic work had been undertaken with these catfishes. Loved the pictures of the Upper Rio Negro. Nice to get a 'feel' for the natural habitat of my aquarium fishes.
