Any recommendations?
I have a few already.
I'd prefer ones with lots of detail.

Depends. The only two I own are one on US Native fish species, and Walstad's "Ecology of the Planted Aquarium". Good caresheets from places such as here, SeriouslyFish, PlanetCatfish, etc often go into more detail than many books, unless you're looking at ones that cover specific groups.

I like Tropical Fishlopaedia

Getting that one. I have a DK one and I have a mini encyclopedia one.

I really want one with detail on WCMM, Barbs, Siamese fighting fish, cories, danios and asian fish in general.

Also Baensch, several volumes, start with vol 1 and move on to subsequent more specialised ones if what you want isn't there.

Baensch? Sounds interesting!
I do use the caresheets from here, loaches, seriouslyfish and all but sometimes I like things in book form.

That is true but they are just for me and I use the internet on top.
