Great book for a beginner!!

This is a wonderful book. Lots of good information from setting up your tank to picking goldfish. Just what I was looking for. I've had goldfish for over 20 years and this book is a great refresher for me. Just wanted to make sure I was doing everything right.

Great book for beginner

I found out this book is very useful to the beginner like me. I learned a lot of things from this book especially in setting up the aquarium.

This book is the best Goldfish book I've ever owned.

This book was grrrrrrreat. The chapters were well organized and Marshall gave a good open but firm view on the issue to hepl you decide how to best take care of your Goldfish. This is a must have for Goldfish owners. It is indespensible.

Good all-around begginner's goldfish book

This book is a great buy for the money. It provides good coverage to just about every aspect of raising goldfish. Nice and thin paperback with small type to travel easily. Good photos and illustrations. My only disappointment is its section on water chemistry, which basically says, "change the water a lot".
