Step-by-step photo sequences instruct on setting up a tank,
equipping it, cultivating a tropical aquarium's plant life, and
introducing many among a wide selection of tropical fishes, with
special advice on compatibility among various species. Hundreds of
fish varieties are profiled, with photos and information on feeding
and maintenance. Titles in the brand-new "Mini Encyclopedia" series
present comprehensive guidance for aquarium hobbyists, each volume
offering in-depth coverage of a complete subdivision of fish
keeping. Each book's authoritative main text is amplified with
beautifully designed panels that present vivid, instructive color
photos and illustrations, all of them accompanied by
information-packed captions and annotations. The authors--all
recognized experts and contributors to aquarium magazines--instruct
on setting up an aquarium, selecting species, and maintaining an
optimal environment for the tank's aquatic animal and plant life.
Each volume features approximately 250 color photos and
illustrations.
The second edition of Fishes of Arkansas, in development for more
than a decade, is an extensive revision and expansion of the first
edition, including reclassifications, taxonomic changes, and
descriptions of more than thirty new species. An invaluable
reference for anyone interested in the state's fish population-from
professional ichthyologists, fisheries biologists, and managers of
aquatic resources, to amateur naturalists and anglers-this new
edition provides updated taxonomic keys as well as detailed
descriptions, photographs, and line drawings to aid identification
of the state's 241 fish species. There is also much information on
the distribution and biology of each species, including
descriptions of habitat, foods eaten, reproductive biology, and
conservation status. This project and the preparation of this
publication was funded in part by a grant from the Arkansas Game
and Fish Commission.
Everything the first time fish-keeper needs to know to set up a
tank. Clear, easy-to-follow instructions help you create and
develop your aquarium - whether it's coldwater, tropical or marine.
Charts and tables show how to deal with ailments and diseases, and
there's a guide to the most common fish. There are profiles of over
100 tropical, marine and coldwater fish, as well as plants and
invertebrates.
