Summary: No angelfish anywhere!
Review: This book is a great book if you wish to read up on a multitude of fish types, except angelfish, which are the most popular! I found it very frustrating when trying to decide on the last of seven fish to get for our aquarium, not to find the most popular in, what seemed to be, such a comprehensive book. There is also no clear indication of what follows in subsequent volumes so I don't even know if I buy those, whether I will find the missing chapter! The book also covers fish for both the diver and the aquarist and so as an aquarist I get very excited only to discover that most of the fish are not available at local pet/fish stores. Apart from these I was torn about my rating because it is a very well produced and thorough book except for those few foibles.

Summary: One of the best books money can buy
Review: This is a brilliant book. It tells you almost anything you need to know. But this book is vol. 1 and vol. 2+3 tells you a lot more about Invertebrates. This is the best book on shrimps and surgeonfishes and algae I have ever seen. It is translated perfect from German to English. If you live in America there is something that you may not find to interresting. It describes all the things in LITER instead of GALLON. This is its only weakness. But if you are a Marineaquarist like me, then you should purchase vol. 1+2+3 Hope you can use my little review. Ciao From Morten Baljscher (Denmark)
