2.0 out of 5 stars Not very helpfful, August 10, 2008
This review is from: The Tropical Aquarium (Mini Encyclopedia Series for Aquarium Hobbyists) (Paperback)
I bought this book expecting to gain alot of info about aquarium fish. However, when I received this book, I realised that this book does not leaves me satisfied. The information is too limited, I guess that is what it meant by mini encyclopedia. However, it should have in enough details about aquarium fish that a buyer can stick to this book alone and not have to buy another.
