Encyclopedia Of Aquarium And Pond Fish

This is a beautiful book, and the best I've found for fish profiles. The photographs are spectacular. The book is, however, somewhat out of date, despite having been reprinted just a couple of years ago. No real effort was made at that time to update the book to reflect changes in equipment or techniques. In particular, there was no mention of LED lighting, or modern substrates. Another thing I would have liked to see is a section on freshwater invertebrates, which have become very popular.Having said all that, the main focus of the book is fish profiles, and here it shines, with gorgeous pictures and just enough information to get you started. This is still a lovely book and something that is bound to fire the imagination of the novice aquarist.

There are very few up to date publications within the fish-keeping hobby. This encyclopedia was first published in 2005; because of that, it does not contain some modern innovations in equipment. However, it has, on the whole, everything a beginner needs to start in the hobby. It is certainly a better resource than online forums for problem-solving. I recommend this book.

This book is amazing!Most books I’ve seen are really over complicated or long worded. I’ve seen books really out dated. This book is a great buy and full of information. Worth the buy!

I bought this book as a new owner of a fish pond. This book is mainly about aquariums and aquatic fish with only a small section on ponds and fish - having said that, it’s a lovely book and one to pick up and browse through at any time

This is a excellent book it gives good advice to someone who is starting up in the hobby or is been in the hobby for years
