The Natural Aquarium Handbook

Rating:
Summary: It's just natural
Review: The first book I had was Piranhas by Barron's and it was a great book. I wanted to learn more about other fishes so I thought why not get Barron's, too? This book is for beginners and experienced home aquarists. The reason why I gave this book a five star is because it doesn't talk much about a specific fish like Discusfish. And that's good because it draws begginers the attention on thinking twice about keeping a fragile fish.

Summary: Excellent for beginners, but doesn't assume you're an idiot
Review: Unlike many of her peers, this author writes well. She covers the issues you need to consider in a smooth style that makes learning easy and logical. Lots of pictures of fish, and a very clear *DETAILED* review of fish species appropriate for aquariums. I appreciate the book's to-the-point style, avoiding the let's-make-the-book-as-fat-as-we-can approach.
