Freshwater Aquariums For Dummies

Great book. Very informative and easy to read

Another good Dummies book that will give those with little or no experience as a tropical fish hobbyist good fundamental knowledge.

Lots of info. Wish there was more info on fish

I've always wanted a large aquarium but never had the means to invest. My sweetheart surprised me with a 75 gallon tank on an enclosed stand with all the fixings. I knew this ran about 2K by the time he was done with the full set up and fish. The fish were dropping like flies and I immediately started looking for help. I found this book and it didn't take long for me to see that I was an idiot fish keeper that needed educating. This book was soooooo helpful in learning to recognize diseases, the functions of water changes, testing testing testing. My well water couldn't be treated enough to make the water right. I now have to buy 15 gallons of distilled water every 2 weeks to keep the fishies healthy, as well as many other things like filter changing schedules and so on. It's a lot of work, time, and money for the upkeep. I suggest you learn from my mistakes and get the book FIRST if you too are like me and want an aquarium.

I also have the dummies version for salt water great easy to understand and follow, you won’t be sorry

If you are new to aquariums, this is a great place to start. I would certainly buy this book again if I wanted to learn about aquariums from the beginning. It certainly would supply a foundation of understanding about aquariums.

Haven’t even read it yet but it came ripped like it was used and that wasn’t what I purchased.

Excellent reference source for the beginner or seasoned pro. We are somewhere in the middle. This reference will keep you from making costly mistakes with over population..tank initial set-up..filtration..and water testing recommendations. Our go-to ref book.

Good to read before you buy and go into your first serious store, read thereafter. I just bought a 20-gallon aquarium, and this book is excellent, useful, well written. Thank you, Madelaine :)

I'm a complete novice when it comes to an aquarium and this book helped me learn what I needed to know. It's been 3 weeks now and my fish are still alive!! Great useful book 🙂

Good book for entry level fish keeping. Keeps everything simple and details some of the more common pet shop breeds,
