Popular Guide to Tropical Aquarium Fishes

For the beginner, as I am, this book is very helpful in describing many different kinds of fish and their requirements. It helps the reader make very informed decisions about which fish will do well in the type of community the keeper is looking to establish. However, the book lacks the "aquariums for dummies" information that the keeper needs for the day to day stuff. Water change schedule, diseases & treatments, etc. Overall, the book was very good. I just needed to use another book in-tandem with this one to gather all the information I needed as a first time "aquarium dummy".
