Aquarium owners find these colorful tropical fish exceptionally active, with correspondingly huge appetites. Their several varieties are native to southern and southeast Asia. Titles in the extensive Complete Pet Owner's Manuals series provide pet owners with basic information on keeping healthy, contented, well-cared-for animals. The series includes approximately 175 titles and covers pets of every kind: dogs, cats, and birds of many breeds, as well as fish, reptiles, rabbits, hamsters, and just about any other animal that people keep as a pet. Facts and advice cover all aspects of pet care, which include proper feeding, housing, health care, grooming, training, and much more. The text in each manual is supplemented with many vivid, full-color photos, and with instructive, anatomically accurate line art. Each manual has been individually written by a breeder, trainer, veterinarian, or experienced animal specialist.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Too general,
By Matthew Tucker (Illinois, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Barbs Aquarium (Paperback)
I expected more in depth information from this book. The info presented here can be found on the internet for free. An actual quote from the book: "Finding books on barbs and their relatives can be a problem, as you may need to collect an extensive library of general aquarium books to have a wide range of information" I thought this book would have the extensive information I was looking for, but it didn't. The photography is quite good though, and I will enjoy looking at in the future. Too bad there isn't anything in it worth reading in the future.
