This book takes you through the basics on how to setup a WORKING aquarium, then through the equipment needed including aquatic plants, then what fish you can combine or not, then maintenance and finally the basics for breeding fish in your aquarium.The fishes featured in this book are not just identified by their name but also code number.

This number remains, despite any scientific renaming. Moreover, it enables you to communicate internationally about any fish without the danger of confusion regarding local names!
