Summary: Excellent insight to aquarium fishes.
Comment: Dr. Axelrod's Aquarium fishes of the World is an excellent book on freshwater fish. Dr. Axelrod is one of the world's foremost experts of fish and their environments, having a species named after him. This book is a must have even if your not setting up your own aquarium. Great reading!
Rating: 4
Summary: Good Freshwater Reference Book
Comment: This book is worth the investment. It's almost impossible to cover all freshwater species, but this book does a good job in covering all that may come along. I did not find the X-Ray Tetra but I did find the Ruby Pristella. This section did refer to the Pristella maxillaris or the X-ray Tetra and how similar the two Tetras are. The plant section, while not as well organized, does present a lot of information. There are some typos. If you can forgive these, it is a worthy investment.

Summary: An excellent handbook to aquarium fish
Comment: While this book does devote a small section to setup and maintenance of an aquarium, this book works best as a reference guide for species info. Hundreds and hundreds of very nice pictures are augmented with good information on each species' water and food requirements, temperament, maximum size, and miscellaneous background information. I've found a few species missing from this book, but even with over 870 species there are bound to be a few left out.
I highly recommend this for anyone looking for good, consolodated information on hundreds of fish. It's also good for those trips to the fish store when you don't trust the teenage attendant to give you accurate information about that one fish you really like.
