4.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent book on Livebearers for the money, January 8, 2000
By William (Shreveport, LA, USA) - See all my reviews
The author is quite an expert on livebearers and his comments frequently appear in the "livebearers@aquaria.net" bulletin board. The book contains good, current information and expert advice, along with both good drawings and good photos. However, every now and then something is "lost in the translation" - lyretail swords, for example, are referred to as "dragon swords", a name not used here in the US. This is, however, an excellent buy for the money!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, December 7, 2000
By S. Foster (AL United States) - See all my reviews
I am an amature, first time fish owner and I found this book to have everything I needed to raise healthy happy guppies, mollies and platys. I would highly recommend it. The author explains everything in easy to understand terms. You'll have no trouble raising your fish to be as healthy and happy as mine.

3.0 out of 5 stars Better can be found, March 1, 2005
By J. Brown (Billings, MT USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you are a new fish keeper don't buy this book for the setup tips. If you are looking for a book about live-bearers the sections about specific species are good and can be helpful but the other sections on care and aquarium setup are lacking.
I would suggest a more comprehensive book that can be used as they advance through the hobby. I've seen several more comprehensive guides to get someone started, and I've found the Aquarium Atlas series by Baensch to be helpful in species selection and even the sections on setup and equipment are good.
CONCLUSION:
Buy this book for the info on live bearers, if you want info on other aspects of fishkeeping as well, look elsewhere.
