Description:

Thinking of getting a low-maintenance pet that requires little cost and minimal upkeep? After reading this book, you may want to reconsider choosing a fish. As author Gregory Skomal illustrates, creating a healthy environment for your fish is not as easy as you might think. Gone are the days of putting fish in a bowl and tossing them some fish flakes every now and then; today's savvy fish owners have freshwater aquariums with the proper pH balance and feed their fish household foods such as canned peas, raw ground beef, and cooked egg yolks. Part one of Setting up a Saltwater Aquarium includes chapters on the physical properties of a fish, helping readers understand the basic needs of their prospective pet, as well as the necessary information to set up the fish's new home. Part two guides the reader through the fish selection process. The third part of the book is the most thorough, including information on such topics as feeding your fish, keeping your fish healthy, and breeding your fish. The end of the book recommends resources such as clubs, books, and Internet sites that fish aquarists can access to keep their information current. Complete with illustrations and color photographs, Setting up a Freshwater Aquarium is full of interesting and useful information for the would-be fish owner.
