SO HELPFUL!!!
Date: August 2, 2008
"This book is awesome! It totally helped me when I set up my first "real" tank. It tells you what supplies to get, about portions for your fish, and the most fun part, combining species! My two platys, three guppies, and two bettas could not be happier in thier tanks thanks to David!!! This book is so helpful!"

Simple to Comprehend

"This is a great book for the beginning fishkeeper. It's a great idea to purchase this book PRIOR to setting up a tank so that you become familiar with the cycling process. Clear, easy to understand information. ;)"

Great book to get before you begin your fish hobby
Date: February 26, 2007
"I got this book before I started keeping any freshwater tropical fish. It's an easy read and seems to cover all aspects of fishkeeping that a beginner should be familiar with. And I still refer to it on occassion.
Obviously, it's best to become familiar with the basic requirements of any type of pet BEFORE you take a new one on. I think this book does just that for freshwater fish.

Enough to get anyone hooked on fish...
Date: November 28, 2005
"If you are new at fish or just need some information this book has it... I had already started my fist aquarium about 4 months before i bought this book and I had been trying to find alot of information online. This book has it all i learned so much i didnt know. For anyone looking to set up there first aquarium it tells you exactly how to do it for amazing results. Also, if you have looked online there are many websites out there about fish but there all a little confusing. This book is extreamly helpful and is a must have if you want a great freshwater aquarium. "
