There have been quite a number of books solely about killifish, however these often go out of print very quickly. Luckily websites such as Amazon and Ebay regularly sell pre-owned books allowing us a chance to find unavailable titles. It should be noted that simply because a big supplier like Amazon does not stock a book, it does not mean that it's competitors do not.

Breeding Killifishes
Marshal Ostrow
Nothobranchius
Rex A. Jubb
Although a small book (61 pages) this is a must for Nothobranchius fans. The pictures are of a reasonable standard and the nomenclature is clearly dated, however this is the only book that studies the genus in any depth, and contains some interesting insights, for a very small price.
