Goldfish: Everything About Aquariums, Varieties, Care, Nutrition, Diseases, and Breeding (Complete Pet Owner's Manual)

Rating:
Summary: Good for begginers
Review: A good book for begginers. The title misguides the reader into thinking it is a complete reference for goldfish. The author briefly touches many of the topics. I regret buying this book because it did not solve my questions about diseases, plant care, water quality, and nutrition. A good book for kids. Nice photographs.

Review: I find this to be a helpful guide, and it has given me the tools for a solid understanding of goldfish. Written by Marshall Ostrow and originally released in 1985, this second edition was printed in 1995. It is in softcover format and contains 94 pages. There are 11 chapters along with a bibliography and index. The color photographs are attractive, and the black-and-white drawings are impressive and handy. Examples of topics discussed are habitations for goldfish, aquarium equipment, aquarium plants, setup of the aquarium, varieties of goldfish, selecting goldfish, aquarium maintenance, feeding, diseases, senses, shape and structure, breeding, and pondkeeping. There is a drawing of a goldfish with its external parts pointed out and also drawings that display the developmental stages of a goldfish. I actually rate this manual 3.5 stars. It is informative and pleasing, and I recommend it.

Summary: This book is the best Goldfish book I've ever owned.
Review: This book is a great buy for the money. It provides good coverage to just about every aspect of raising goldfish. Nice and thin paperback with small type to travel easily. Good photos and illustrations. My only disappointment is its section on water chemistry, which basically says, "change the water a lot".

Summary: Goldfish
Review: This book is great for the reader who is just beginning with goldfish. It has wonderful pictures and shows avariet of types of goldfish. I still look at it and have read it over and over. Very interesting. I highly recommend this book. If someone is looking about breeding goldfish however I would recommend a different book as it does go into it a little but if you are looking to breed show goldfish and need more info then this would not be for you.
