This comprehensive guide is the most complete owner’s manual for keeping all types of freshwater and marine fish. The book will take you through all the options in choosing the right fish for any water temperature – tropical and coldwater – and for all types of environment – indoor aquariums or outdoor ponds. Know the difference between keeping marine fish and freshwater fish, including differences in aquarium setups, and feeding and caring for your pet fish. Learn to tell if your fish are healthy and find out everything you need to breed them successfully. The Encyclopedia of Aquarium & Pond Fish contains a huge photographic colour reference directory of over 800 of the most popular fish, which not only shows you what they look like, but also gives you the key information you need, such as how big they will grow, whether they integrate with different fish, what food they eat, and what water type and temperature they prefer.

I bought this book as a new owner of a fish pond. This book is mainly about aquariums and aquatic fish with only a small section on ponds and fish – having said that, it’s a lovely book and one to pick up and browse through at any time

This is a beautiful book, and the best I’ve found for fish profiles. The photographs are spectacular. The book is, however, somewhat out of date, despite having been reprinted just a couple of years ago. No real effort was made at that time to update the book to reflect changes in equipment or techniques. In particular, there was no mention of LED lighting, or modern substrates. Another thing I would have liked to see is a section on freshwater invertebrates, which have become very popular.
Having said all that, the main focus of the book is fish profiles, and here it shines, with gorgeous pictures and just enough information to get you started. This is still a lovely book and something that is bound to fire the imagination of the novice aquarist.

Wide range of very accessible and useful details that our 10 year old found fascinating and useful setting up his aquarium.

There are very few up to date publications within the fish-keeping hobby. This encyclopedia was first published in 2005; because of that, it does not contain some modern innovations in equipment. However, it has, on the whole, everything a beginner needs to start in the hobby. It is certainly a better resource than online forums for problem-solving. I recommend this book.
