4.0 out of 5 stars since i need a title..., October 23, 2005

This review is from: Fish (ASPCA Pet Care Guides) (Paperback)

I have to say I liked this book as a jumping off point, however the info needs to be supplemented if you are serious about aquaria (defined as any intention of possibly hosting any aquatic life). Several pictures are mislabeled (i.e. guppies on pg. 38). I also would NOT add any fish, no matter how hardy, to an aquarium that has only cycled 48 hrs. Regardless of these minor blunders, I think it's still a very charming little book. Definitely give this one to kids to look at, but before plunging into the aquarium world, read more on your own.

There are worse crimes than burning books. One of them is not reading them. ~Ray Bradbury
