Customer Reviews

Great basic, easy to read, very well structured book....

This book has a very comprehensive aquarium setup, filter and maintenance guide. After this section comes info and colored pictures of different kinds of fish, including it's adaptability, breeding info, temperament and the care it requires. All is indexed at the end of the book....The only down side to this book is that if you're interested in only ONE kind of fish, it won't make you an expert....All in all, this is a great book for what it was designed to do: help you decide what fish you want to buy.

outstanding, great for both beginner and expert

David Alderton's International Encyclopedea of Tropical Fish is an outstanding edition to anyones home library. Not only is it informative on tropical fish alone, it covers everything you would need to know as a beginer and expert in this fascinating hobby. As a collector of chiclids I was excited to learn that they to made a grand appearance in ths wonderful hardcover. Sincerely, John J. Browne
