Product Description
Book Description
The keeping of tropical fish has expanded to become one of the most popular hobbies in the world. Whether you are a novice or an experienced aquarist, this book offers sound, practical advice that will guide you in setting up and stocking your first tank, or help you widen your knowledge and skills. Presented in a lively, easy-to-use format, the information in this book covers all aspects of the hobby, from choosing and maintaining equipment, to the care and breeding of a host of popular fish species.
About the Author
Gina Sandford has been an avid fishkeeper for the past 30 years; her wide-ranging experience embraces both freshwater and marine species, and invertebrates. Her love of natural history first led her to take up the aquarium hobby, and she soon assumed an active part in her local aquatic society. She later became Secretary and Editor for The Catfish Association of Great Britain. Over the years, Gina has become familiar to hobbyists as a regular contributor to various aquatic journals worldwide. In her role as a fishkeeping 'agony aunt', she has given thousands of enthusiasts the benefit of her practical knowledge through her magazine advice columns. She has written several books on tropical fish, and co-authored a number of research reports for animal welfare organizations. Keeping abreast of latest developments in the hobby, she and her husband travel widely, giving lectures on general fishkeeping, catfish, breeding, pond life and furnished aquaria. Avowedly a 'hand-on' aquarist, when she is not tending to her own extensive collection of livestock, she can often be found accompanying local schools on their 'pond-dipping' days!
