4.0 out of 5 stars I good book to add to your fish library., December 13, 2000

This review is from: Aquarium Atlas: Volume 3 (Hardcover)

This is book three of a three volume set. It covers the more "exotic" fish available in the pet stores. Vol 1 is the more common aquarium fish, Vol 2 is rarer fish (cichlids and brackish). Each book is well written and concise. This book covers tank setup, fish, plants, and more.

Unlike other photo guides, this one includes a more complete info section for each fish. Not just the pictoral symbols that some other books have.

Each fish has a large and colorful picture, although the quality is some times lacking. The layout is easy to follow and the information is generally excellent.

I wouldn't make this your first book to purchase but it is definetely one to add to your library.

The best series ever continues the same way. Lots of new species and good pictures of all of them.
