Happy Belated Birthday to Me!

Another book!

A good friend of mine, Louise Le, recently gave me the book Encyclopedia of Aquarium&Pond Fish by David Alderton. 

This book is great for fish identification and includes both Freshwater and Marine Fish. Each fish described has information on its origin, size, diet, water, and temperament, along with its scientific name and a picture of the fish.

It also includes some detail about freshwater and marine tank setups, medicines/illnesses, breeding, and an introduction to fish-keeping.

This book does not have much information about aquarium plants, but it does have information on pond plants.

I think this book is better for freshwater fish and pond information, but is also a great book for beginners just like the Mini Encyclopedia of Aquarium Plants book I have mentioned in an earlier post.
