Reviews

[A.M.]

Handy, practical tips. Ideal for someone thinking of starting up an aquarium, especially those aiming for something a little grander than a goldfish bowl.
I had an 80 litre freshwater fish tank, and found several tips in this book to be quite helpful. However, I would treat this book as introductory reading, rather than an exhaustive guide.

Can a banjo catfish be housed with a longnosed elephant fish? Find out in this well-illustrated guide.

[Liz]

It did not provide a lot of detail or reasoning behind its tips. Not a book I would recommend to a beginning aquarist.

[Leah Good]

Good info but very basic--could be gleaned from a few quick internet searches.
