'For users looking for specific information on freshwater aquarium
fish this will be a useful and interesting resource' American
Reference Books Annual 2007. 'Any home or library collection strong
in aquarium references —and many a fish store — will find this
packed with in-depth detail perfect for setting up an aquarium' The
Midwest Book Review. This comprehensive full-colour reference
covers 500 of the most popular freshwater aquarium fish. Along with
a description and a colour photograph for each species, there is
at-a-glance information on its behavior, diet, breeding and the
aquarium environment. Substantive and well organized for easy
navigation, it is tailored to the needs of a wide range of
freshwater aquarium hobbyists. Beginners will start their new hobby
with confidence and experienced keepers can use the book as a
reference to equipment, aquarium maintenance and fish species. A
key decision for the aquarium owner, new and experienced — and
also one of the most fun to make — is choosing the fish. 500
Freshwater Aquarium Fish is a “window shopping” trip with an
aquarium specialist ready to offer crucial advice. The directory
details every species appropriate for a freshwater aquarium and
while most of the fish featured require a heated aquarium, there
are other popular varieties that can be kept in an unheated one
(such as bloodfin tetras, white clouds and the beginner classic,
goldfish). The book organizes the freshwater aquarium species in
major groups, among them: Cichlids, including angelfish and discus;
Catfish; Cyprinids, including barbs, danios, koi and goldfish;
Characoids, including tetras, neons and piranhas; Loaches and
suckers; Gouramis, including bettas, paradise fish and snakeheads;
Rainbow fish and blue-eyes; Livebearers, including mollies and
platies. Many new freshwater aquarium species have been discovered
in recent years, including five dwarf gobies, a flasher wrasse, the
“Oreo Chromis” and a Corydoras catfish. All these and more are
covered in this comprehensive and useful reference.
