The title is a bit misleading, it has far more information than just how to choose the right fish for your space and conditions. There\\&#8217;s information on tank setups, water conditioning, where to situate the aquarium and so forth. Also some info on what kinds of fish are compatible for communities, and how to maintain a healthy environment for the fish. I liked this book. It recommends that you start with species that are hardy and easy to care for, and tells how to do research on the fish before making a purchase- even noting that pet store employees will not always know what they\\&#8217;re talking about! The book points out that you should be conscious of where the pet store gets their stock from- are the fish wild-caught in ways that deplete reef ecosystems? or are they raised in hatcheries? All things to think about.<\/p>\n<p>The book has very good pictures, as well.<\/p>\n<p><b>Rating: 3\/5<\/b> \u00a0 \u00a048 pages, 2013<\/p>\n<p>more opinions:<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/marinaduff.blogspot.com\/2012\/06\/fish-how-to-choose-and-care-for-fish-by.html\">Marina\\&#8217;s Tween Materials Blog<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Laura S.
