Great for choosing fish

I found this book very helpful for choosing which fish to stock my tank with. Helpful lists of water requirements, and a rating on ease of keeping which I found helped me rule out fish that might have been too difficult for a beginner (not always clear with most other reference books I have read). The large pictures of each fish without the background clutter was also very useful as you knew exactly what you were getting and knew what to look for in a good, healthy fish.
