4.0 out of 5 stars Four stars for its size, March 21, 2001

This review is from: Tropical Fish: Setting Up and Taking Care of Aquariums Made Easy (Complete Pet Owner's Manual) (Paperback)

One of the beginning books i've read. Lots of tips for such a small book. Surprisingly good photos. Generally covers everything for start up, buy this book when buying a 20 gallon start up kit and you should be off to a good start.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for beginners, November 16, 2005

By	Marli Ritter (South Africa) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I very impressed with this book, when I received it in the post I was bit disappointed of the size, it looked quite small, but packed with useful information I was looking for, it's not very thorough, it touches alot of subjects though, from setting up a tank to common fish species, plants, diseases, etc. This is the perfect book for beginners when you need useful information and facts. Great book, nice photos too.
