3.0 out of 5 stars
Not Bad,
This review is from: Aquarium Fish (Pet Reference Books) (Paperback)
This is actually a pretty good book if you want information on fish ie. breeding, care, disease treatment and prevention, characteristics, benefits, what fish are good with what fish. It has lots of pictures of freshwater fish with brief descriptions of each. There is a page or so of generalized information concerning each species and then pictures with a paragraph describing some of the specific subspecies.It's really light on plant info. So if you want info on plants go find another book. Also if you are looking for information on how to start up or maintain an aquarium you'll need to go else where. All the information is pretty basic so this is definatly a beginner's book, it doesn't go into anything in any real depth. So I gave it three stars, it's not a must have by any means but it does provide some good helpful information.

This review is from: Aquarium Fish (Pet Reference Books) (Paperback)
A reasonably good book for a beginner wanting to start an aquarium with a bit more thought than the usual community tank.The part on biotopes is not only interesting but is of great help fro the aquarist who would like to set up a tank/ecosystem which is as close to the real thing as possible. However, the 159 pages did leave the me "dissatisfied", i really could have done with a more detailed book. . If you want to keep/keep a planted aquuarium like I do then, you do need other books like Amano,s Nature Aquarium World series, and Barry James' Illustrated Guide.... for more details and ideas.
