Book description
Each year more and more people discover the pleasures of keeping tropical fish. There is the joy of watching brilliant patterns formed by the fish in their movements round the tank, or the deeper satisfaction of breeding such exotic fish as blue gularis or fire-mouth cichlids.
Tropical fish are now used as pleasant and fascinating decor in the home, in hotel and cinema foyers, doctors’ and dentists’ waiting rooms and in hospital therapy. The scope is endless.
The aquarium is a constant source of biological study and experiment. The fish-keeper must know how to maintain it and keep it free from trouble.
It is to help the beginner to achieve a worthwhile standard, and the already initiated to extend his activities and technique, that this comprehensive book has been written.
The beautiful colour photographs are supplemented by the line drawings of David Carl Forbes, who is renowned for the accuracy of his fish illustrations.
