5.0 out of 5 stars Fairly good., Feb 9 2004

Brian J. Torreano (Brookfield, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: American Aquarium Fishes (Hardcover)

The book in its entirety is fairly good. The authors tried to cover a broad scope. This book may be useful for the breeder in that there is specific information on each species. Please note that you may need to combine the information in this text with information from other sources (print, web, etc.) to take complete care of your native fishes.

5.0 out of 5 stars The depth and detail and the vivid photos are impressive, Jan 24 2001

Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: American Aquarium Fishes (Hardcover)

This comprehensive reference volume will appeal to both specialty and general-interest libraries: American Aquarium Fishes provides over 118 color and over 200 black and white photos of various species of aquarium fish, providing detailed discussions on where to find native fishes, how to collect and transport them around the globe, and regional rules of collecting. The depth and detail and the vivid photos are impressive.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best reference to date!, Nov 16 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: American Aquarium Fishes (Hardcover)

It's about time that a talented group of aquarium hobbyist (who are also biologists I believe) got together to write a book that the layman can understand and appreciate. You will not find convuluted passages common in the scientific literature. Each species account is well written and contains the information that the hobbyist wants.

Goldstein, Harper, and Edwards are well known hobbyist and if there are any real experts in the field, it's these guys.

This is an all around great reference for the North American native fish hobbyist.
