American Aquarium Fishes Notes:
Good book. The authors tried to cover a broad scope. This book may assist the breeder as it has some detailed information of the care of each species. Please be aware that you might have to combine the information in this text with information from other sources (print, web, etc.) to gain enough knowledge to take complete care of your native fishes.
