Review :
Everything anyone wants to know about fish, aquarium fish, aquarium plants and aquarium setup and maintenance are what John Dawes presents in this excellent encyclopedia ... The fish photography ... is far superior to any found currently in average general encyclopedias.-- (08/01/2002) Profusely illustrated, fact-filled reference book. [Dawes] offers 81 pages of general information and thousands of detailed summaries -- by species -- on food, temperature, care and breeding, with excellent photographs.-- (12/15/2001) There are rare moments in reference publishing when the quality of illustrations and the quality of textual information converge in such a manner that it is hard to imagine one without the other. This is such a work, replete as it is with more than 500 full-color photographs and illustrations that provide, at a glance, a better understanding of what is being presented in the text ... This work is highly recommended for scope, detail, and illustrations.-- (01/01/2002)
