Aquarium Owner's Manual

Rating:
Summary: Good information to start
Review: My daughter (7) and I setup our first tropical tank and used this book, along with resources on the internet and from our local fish store. I thought this provided a good overview that isn't too technical or long. I read it in an afternoon. Some things I thought were interesting;
-A history of fish-keeping as a hobby.
-Good photos and descriptions of the fish
-Several different tank setups with photos and fish selection.
-Keeping the fish healthy with photos of what common problems look like. I've heard of ich, but now I know what it looks like.

Plus, it also covers marine (saltwater) tanks which we may want to do if we stay with the hobby.

Overall an excellent book to start with.
