    The nomenclature changes, new collections, new species, new equipment, 
new techniques never stop. There is no single reference book and they all are 
or will be out of date very quickly. The Internet is a good source of 
information, either from various websites or mailing lists. 
    These are the books that I find invaluable:
Wildekamp Volumes 1, 2 and 3 have been published and the names have been 
changed. This series takes each species in alphabetical order and describes 
the fish, the systematics and collection information. Volume 4 will be issued 
within the next year.

Huber Killidata 2000 is almost up to date and lists fish names and collections

Killifish Master index to be published very soon and will up to date as of 
now for names

Wild Collections - published up through 1995. Another edition is due soon.

AquaLog Volumes I and II Old World Kills and New World Killis. A good, not 
great, collection of color pictures with minimal information.

Rivulins of the Old World long outdated but all the information except the 
current names is very useful and the color pictures are great.

Atlas of Killifish by Scheel (TFH coffee table style boo, but still very 
useful).

Huber's Rivulus book

Costa's Cynolebias book

Eberl's Cameroon book

Brousseau's South American annual book

Tony Terceira's Book

Ed Warner's book

and so forth

    If I could buy just one reference book for correct names I would get 
Killidata2000
    If I was allowed to buy just one color photo book -- there is not one, 
but the three in the AquaLog series are good.
    If I needed just a book on how to keep killies, I would recommend Ed 
Warner's book.
