## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Its a pretty great book.
*by B***7 on October 22, 2014*

This book is pretty great as far as pictures go. You get a nice picture for every fish listed and the pictures have pretty good color. This book has the info for every fish I needed to know about. Well... by the info I only meant the basics. It lists the Origins, Size, Diet, Water Information, and the fishes Temperament. You won't get any compatibility charts, but you can look up that info online if you're looking to setup a community tank. The authors also included a small paragraph of information for each fish. This information is usually just background information on the fishes name, distinct characteristics, breeding info, or it could be about anything else. This book is organized into three sections. One for Freshwater, one for Marine and one for Pond. One small feature that I really appreciate. It's not like some other books that just list fish in alphabetical order and then lists next to it whether it's a freshwater or a saltwater fish. Each section is organized like this, Introduction to Freshwater Fish, Directory of Freshwater Fish and then Directory of Freshwater Plants. The only difference in the book layout is that for the Marine section it has invertebrates listed instead of a plant section of course. Overall I'm glad I purchased this book and I think everyone into fish keeping should own it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent book for all aspects of ponds and aquariums.
*by S***T on February 5, 2018*

Whether you are interested in pond, fresh or saltwater aquariums, this is an excellent reference; especially for beginners who want to get a scientific and common sense overview of all these categories. I have three (constructed) ponds and several aquariums and I learn something new every time I pick up this book. This book does an exceptional job on plants and every category of fish and invertebrates. Photographs are excellent and the fish synopsis, though not in scientific detail, are excellent overviews for deciding compatibility in various aquariums. Plants, fish, invertebrates, and basic hobby information are all covered. Not much on tanks, filters, etc., but all that is available in magazines in print, and on line. This, and “ The complete book of the freshwater aquarium” are sitting by my chair as I write this review. This is a perfect book for a hobbyist as a birthday or Christmas gift. You will make a child, or a old man very happy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a great resource but...
*by Z***2 on August 8, 2023*

This is a great resource but the only time I have needed to look up information about a specific fish (Kribensis Cichlid) I found it was not included in the section with all the other cichlids. Other than that, it's got great information. I bought two copies for my classroom!
