Worth Getting...

This is a decent aquarium book, well worth getting! A lot of helpful and accurate information regarding various species... and the symbol keys were, for the most part, logical and accurate, providing concise information regarding such things as ease of keeping, compatibility, and size (for both in the wild and in captivity). Excellent photographs throughout; it's a very nice, large hard-cover book.

Great for beginers like Me!

I don't speak the best english, but I can tell you this book is easy reading and will let you have a great view of what to expect if you want to start your own aquarium. Great book!

An excellent fish encyclopedia!!

The Encyclopedia of Aquarium Fish is an excellent reference tool for aquarists, from novice to veteran. This book contains an invaluable amount of information on an extremely large array of fish species. It is extremely handy in helping you decide on what type of fish to choose when adding new specimens to your aquarium. Everything from compatibility and size requirements to the ease-of-care rating on any particular fish is covered. I especially like how the difficulty of keeping any particular fish is rated on a scale of 1-10, very helpful. Even if you don't own or plan on buying an aquarium, this book will still be very enjoyable. The photography is excellent; every single fish in this book has a detailed photo of it so you can see exactly what it looks like. Overall, EXCELLENT!! You will not be disappointed if you buy this book.
