The title is completely misleading,
By A Customer
This review is from: Understanding Freshwater Fish (Interpet Handbooks) (Hardcover)
To the best of my knowledge, there are freshwater fish and marine (saltwater fish). A book called "understanding FRESHWATER fish", so I would have thought, would include information about coldwater AND tropical fish, since both are, in fact, freshwater fish. This book, however contains information about ONLY coldwater fish. The title, therefore, should be, "understanding COLDWATER fish". Also, the author is ONLY Dick Mills; Gina Sanford's name appears nowhere in the book, as far as I could find.
