"Fishkeeping is one of the most popular hobbies in the world, but with such a wide range of aquarium fish now available and a bewildering variety of hardware, it can be hard to know where to begin. 'Tropical Aquarium Fish' provides anyone interested in entering this fascinating world with all the information they will need to choose, set up, stock and maintain a tropical aquarium.
John Dawes, an internationally renowned authority on fish and aquaria, introduces the beginner to the different branches of the hobby, highlighting the main characteristics of each. He considers the criteria for choosing an aquarium and gives helpful information on everything from buying the best equipment to obtaining suitable base materials. A clear step-by-step guide then takes the beginner through all the stages of putting an aquarium together and introducing the fish. Practical advice on maintaining a newly established aquarium includes information on feeding, identifying and treating disease, and a useful checklist of maintenance routines.
The final section of the book provides a detailed catalogue of the fish themselves, and concentrates on those fish most suitable for the beginner, while also suggesting fish that can be kept successfully by the more experienced aquarist, and certain fish to avoid!
Clearly illustrated throughout with full-colour photographs, charts and diagrams, Tropical Aquarium Fish is the ideal introduction to this rewarding hobby."
