A Goldfish Resource to Own,
By
This review is from: Fancy Goldfish: Complete Guide To Care And Collecting (Hardcover)
This is THE book to own if you're interested in fancy goldfish. The section by Erik Johnson really gives a modern update to goldfish husbandry i.e disease treatment et al. Richard Hess and Erik Johnson have put together a fantastic book containing so much info assembled from a wide variety of sources that it makes a great reference book- both to the novice and the pro. The section on ranchus also is top notch. This great book isnt just a picture book; it's packed full of valuable information that anyone can use!

This review is from: Fancy Goldfish: Complete Guide To Care And Collecting (Hardcover)
This is one of the most informative books on fancy goldfish. It is extremley in depth on disease and treatment. One thing I love is that the author doesn't write in a patronizing tone, but doesn't make it overly complicated either. I don't know why other reviewers are complaining so much about "no index". This book is not hard to use, and has a whole chapter on symptoms.
This book has made a tremendous help in raising my fish and is a priceless guide on disease and treatment. If you raise goldfish, you should absolutley get this book.

This review is from: Fancy Goldfish: Complete Guide To Care And Collecting (Hardcover)
This book is definitely worth the money. The photos are gorgeous, it makes a marvelous coffee table book. The information is very exhaustive, including a lot of detailed information on breeding, illness, treatment. This is a text for the serious goldfish breeder. My only quibble, and it is significant, is that there is no index. When my red cap oranda was sick last week, I had to go to a much less expensive book because it had a handy symptom chart, and an index in the back.
