Freshwater Aquarium Fish is a
"window shopping" trip guided by an
aquarium specialist ready to offer
advice. The directory details every
species appropriate for a freshwater
aquarium. While most require a heated
aquarium, other varieties 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 (such as angelfish and
discus); Catfish; Cyprinids (such as
barbs, danios, koi and goldfish);
Characoids (such as tetras, neons and
piranhas); Loaches and suckers; Gouramis
(such as bettas, paradise fish and
snakeheads); Rainbow fish and blue-eyes;
and Livebearers (such as mollies and
platies).
This comprehensive and useful
reference is from a highly respected
fish keeper with more than 50 years'
experience. His advice and guidance will
be welcomed by amateur fish keepers of
any age and expertise.
