Format:Paperback
This is a definitive guide to fish care and aquarium maintenance. It covers all aspects of setting up a new tank, introducing plants and fish, and ongoing maintenance. It has a very detailed section on fish ailments and contains information on breeding and raising young fish.
However it has two minus points: no index which is quite irritating, and in places the authors' style leads you to believe that they think all new aquarium owners are hell bent on causing stress and death to their fish. Even with these reservations this book is excellent value for money.

This book is as the title says a complete guide to fish care. Since I purchased this book I have found that my knowledge of fish keeping has been greatly expanded. Purchase this book today to keep your fish alive till at least tommorrow! Full of handy little tips that everyone should know.

Format:Paperback
The book explains in great detail how to set up and maintain an aquarium, and there's a great section on what to do when something goes wrong or your fish are acting "funny". The information is explicit when detailing procedures, and the author approaches aquarium setup and maintenance with the idea of keeping the fish as stress free (and therefore healthy) as possible.
Many all-in-one aquarium books devote 3/4 of the book to gorgeous fish and aquarium pictures without including much detail on how to keep everything looking (and feeling) that way. The Fishlopaedia doesn't have a lot of pretty pictures, but it does have a wealth of information.
