Good general discussion about selecting your aquarium, the best substrate and decoration, and stocking density. Each section also has a question and answer section. Lots of extra tips throughout the book. Gives an example of community aquariums for 17 gal, 35 gal, and a 55 gal. This includes layout, plants, fish, and substrate. Then there are examples for livebearing toothcarps, peaceful cichlids, labyrinth fish, small tetras, barbs and barblike fish, & egglaying toothcarps. Also a small section on behavior interpreter. Then another section of examples of South American tank, Southeast Asian tank, African tank, Australian tank, & North American tank. Each example includes a shopping list also. The only negative I could say about the book is there is not a picture of the tanks so you have to use some imagination. All in all it is an excellent little book with lots of ideas.

I bought this book, but while it did have some good information, I found other books and websites to be much more helpful. There was nothing in this book that I didn't find elsewhere in a better format.

I'd have liked more pictures, as the other review mentioned.
