Facts and advice cover all aspects of pet care, which include proper feeding, housing, health care, grooming, training, and much more.

Each manual has been individually written by a breeder, trainer, veterinarian, or experienced animal specialist.

This review is from: Tetras and Other Characins (Paperback)
This book is wonderful. An excellent and concise book for the beginner who wants to start keeping characins. There is a short technical introduction followed by tips of setting up a characin tank. It also highlights a majority of the characins that are available for the hobby. Each of the characin featured in the book is supported by a brief but rich description of its living habitat, water quality (pH and water hardness) and the type of food it needs. The pictures in the book are clear and the photographs are well-taken.
