Summary: The best beginner's guide
Comment: Before I bought my first aquarium, I read several books for beginners, and this is by far the best. Anyone who is interested in fishkeeping and follows the advice in this book will have a successful experience. All the basics --tank sizes (DON'T start too small!), essential equipment, water quality, feeding, etc.-- are covered clearly and thoroughly. In addition, the advice about chemicals and equipment to avoid will save you money and prevent stress on both you and your fish. Finally, the stocking schemes offered (there are many, many options) are like having an expert go fish shopping with you so you can choose the perfect selection of fish based on your preferences and tank size while avoiding the expense and disappointment of choosing incompatible or unsuitable species (e.g., aggressive fish, fish that grow too large, fish that require very special environments).If you are beginner in the hobby, buy this book, follow the advice, and you will have a great experience!

Summary: Read This Book Before Buying An Aquarium
Comment: If you don't have a clue about where to start and you want to purchase your very first tank, please read this book before buying a single piece of equipment! It will answer many of your questions and prevent many problems. This book is practical. Since I've read this book, I've purchased a second aquarium. My fish are thriving. The "Suggested Stocking Schemes" are particularly helpful. Excellent beginner's book.

Summary: My first resource
Comment: I got this book when I bought my first aqaurium, and am I glad I did! This saved a complete beginner from making some deadly mistakes and saved my fish from suffering. I have read it cover to cover more than once, and would recommend this reference to an aquarium novice. However, as another reviewer stated, this book doesn't have everything. You still need to research the specific types of fish you wish to purchase in case they have special needs. But, overall, this resource is highly useful.
