Discover how to * Choose the right aquarium * Select the best fish * Get good deals on equipment * Maintain a clean, healthy environment * Handle tank pitfalls * Breed your fish Review: GOOD ADVICE FOR YOU AND FOR YOUR FINNY FRIENDS - FRESHWATER AQUARIUMS FOR DUMMIES BY MADDY HARDGROVE might not have a current publication day (2006) but it is still the best fish book I've read so far. I am returning into the world of freshwater aquariums after about a ten year hiatus and needed a refresher course on keeping freshwater fish & the aquariums they live in . I have always been a big fan of the "dummies" series because the experts who write them get down on my level using little technical terms and lots of one syllable words that I can understand. This book is not only good for people like me returning to the fishy world by newbies & even experienced people can maybe learn a thing or two from it. One good thing about the book is you dont need to read it all you can skip chapters that are not needed & the information keeps coming and coming . Well worth the cost this one is going in my shelf of reference for when I and my finny friends need a little advice. Review: Great book! - I read this book from cover to cover. It is packed full of interesting and helpful information. I appreciated the basics outlined in this reference guide, being a beginner to the hobby. I learned so much from it. It gives a wonderful overview of everything I needed to know to get started with confidence. It presents many of the most common species that are easily obtainable in pet stores, which I found very helpful in getting started, rather than presenting a vast array of fish that I will probably never find in the store. If you examine the Table of Contents, you will see the vast amount of information presented. I could not begin to put it all down here. It touches upon numerous aspects and gives pertinent facts, without delving into an overwhelming account of the topic. It presents what you need to know to get going. And the information contained therein is extremely diverse but informative. I would recommend this guide to anyone getting started with an aquarium. I wish I would have read it prior to actually setting up my aquarium. I am continually picking it up to re-read a topic referenced in the book. ## Features - Handy guide details the fun and easy way to keep fish in a freshwater, marine, or brackish aquarium - Learn everything from selecting the right fish and equipment to creating an underwater paradise ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,134,901 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #218 in Fish & Aquarium Care (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 396 Reviews | ## Images ![Freshwater Aquariums for Dummies (For Dummies Series) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81TX6kx3ErL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ GOOD ADVICE FOR YOU AND FOR YOUR FINNY FRIENDS *by D***J on August 10, 2016* FRESHWATER AQUARIUMS FOR DUMMIES BY MADDY HARDGROVE might not have a current publication day (2006) but it is still the best fish book I've read so far.

It is packed full of interesting and helpful information. I appreciated the basics outlined in this reference guide, being a beginner to the hobby. I learned so much from it.

Useful book. *by U***C on February 12, 2015* I've been an aquarium aficionado since childhood, but only seriously entered the realm since 1999 and own a great deal of books on the topic. This one is useful for the beginner, but don't believe everything you read in it. Remember, fishkeeping is subjective. Each fish keeper has their own ideas on how to keep fish successfully in a tank. I know I do. I've found by trial and error and sadly by reading some of these books out there. If you keep your mind open and read more than one book about aquariums, then I don't hesitate recommending this one to others. Overall, if you can get it for a low price, don't hesitate adding it to your shelf. It covers all the basics that one needs to know to set up your first aquarium. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hk/products/1703182-freshwater-aquariums-for-dummies-for-dummies-series](https://www.desertcart.hk/products/1703182-freshwater-aquariums-for-dummies-for-dummies-series) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hong Kong* *Store origin: HK* *Last updated: 2026-07-04*
