At the heart of this essential reference is a directory of more than 200 different fish, each presented in a beautiful close-up, full-color photo along with details about its origins, size, requirements, characteristics and care. Find out which fish work best for novice aquarium owners, which like plants, which live well in groups and which don't, plus what they eat, how they breed, and more. A wide range of fish are represented, including tetras, guppies, swordtails, mollies, angelfish, gouramis, Siamese fighting fish, and many other popular and more exotic species.

 poor pictures September 22, 2005
Otherwise the book would be nice, but fishes in the pictures look shocked. They have no color, they have nipped fins and I also saw whitespot. Reader will get bad picture about some species. Can't recommend.
 Great for choosing fish January 12, 2004
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I found this book very helpful for choosing which fish to stock my tank with. Helpful lists of water requirements, and a rating on ease of keeping which I found helped me rule out fish that might have been too difficult for a beginner (not always clear with most other reference books I have read). The large pictures of each fish without the background clutter was also very useful as you knew exactly what you were getting and knew what to look for in a good, healthy fish.
