Does anyone have any good fish books to recommend? You know, like the kind that you hold in your hand that don't have a battery?
I remember way back when, when I got my puppy (who died last year at the age of 15, holy cow...), I had one of these "how to care for your new dog" kind of books that had a little bit of everything: this is how you feed it, this is how much excercise it needs, here is a basic obedience teaching program, these are common illnesses and how to treat them, etc. It was a tome, but I read it through and then it acted like a reference I could check every time there was some kind of issue.
Does anything like that exist for fish? I'm not talking "aquariums for dummies" but a good quality book that will actually leave me with a well-rounded general set of knowledge, instead of the type of knowledge you pick up on the internet where you know a lot about a few aspects of fishkeeping, but have gaping holes in other knowledge areas.
Thanks!
