It sounds like your looking for a mini-atlas of freshwater fish?

I skimmed it in a bookstore maybe 10 years ago.. I dont remember the details.. but a mini-atlas is what your looking for.. If you want to get the fist volume of a bigger atlas you can start a collection.. you should be able to get started for under $25.. If you have a good bookstore near by most of them sell that particular book (more then likely for much more $$$) I really dont have access to good book stores too close to here..
I get most of my reading material from the library by the way..
