Reccomended reading

[Duncan]

Here's my collection of books so far:

An Interpet Guide to Aquarium Plants (Barry James)
A-Z Tropical Fish Diseases and Health Problems (Burgess, Bailey and Exell)
The Encyclopedia of Aquarium Fish (Dick Mills)
The Interpet Q&A manual of The Tropical Freshwater Aquarium (Gina Sandford)

The 1st three I got from Amazon and I'm slightly disappointed with the encyclopedia, it's not got enough info on fish that I would have liked. The 4th book I got from a local petshop (I got that one first).

What I'm looking for is a good encyclopedia on tropical fish that gives good information about fish: their habits, behaviour and breeding rituals and the such like.

Reccomendations most welcome

Try the Baensch Aquarium Atlas books. There are 3 volumes at the moment printed in English, plus a photo index covering volumes 1-5. These books give all the info you need and they are accurate not like some American Atlas's. They are also available in paperback making them a bit cheaper. I can give you ISBN numbers if you want.

Is that the one for £75 for the 3 volumes(hardback)? if it is it's the best I've seen. never got round to buying a copy though as the local library has it.

Yep, available in hardback from Animal House for the princely sum of £69.99 for the 3 volumes. I picked up them in softback for about £35 at various places and the picture index from a shop in Elgin for £8. ( They didn't know the price but took my offer!). :laugh: Mac.

Duncan. Another good book is Tropical Fishlopedia by Mary Bailey @ about £9. No fish as such but covers all aspects of fishkeeping. Mac.

If you want books and buy from Amazon.co.uk, click on any amazon link on the main site and the site will automatcially get 5% of any pruchase or 20% for books Be nice and line my pocket I promise all money made on the site will go back into the site. It costs me a fortune even on free webspace
