Fully illustrated throughout with specially commissioned photographs and artwork, Complete Aquarium provides an informative catalog of aquarium fishes and their habitats.
Reader ReviewsYes, I dream of one day having a marine aquarium. For now, I just read books on the subject. I have a vision of a wall in my house being turned into an aquarium. The finished tank pictures will have you running off to the local pet store to do more research. There are detailed instructions for building the tank. A list of suitable fish are given for each type of tank. I mean, can you imagine being able to build your own East Africa Rocky Lake? How about a central American Coastal Stream? My favorite has always been the Hawaii Coral Reef. The contents of this book include: The Natural Environment The Fish The Freshwater Aquarium The Brackish-Water Aquarium The Marine Aquarium Tank and Water Management Feeding, Breeding, and Healthcare My brother is a natural when it comes to taking care of Aquariums...for me, I need a book! This would make a nice present for someone in your family who is thinking of building their own Aquarium. Great Ideas and Pictures. ~The Rebecca Review
