Great for beginners

"I very impressed with this book, when I received it in the post I was bit disappointed of the size, it looked quite small, but packed with useful information I was looking for, it's not very thorough, it touches alot of subjects though, from setting up a tank to common fish species, plants, diseases, etc. This is the perfect book for beginners when you need useful information and facts. Great book, nice photos too."

Four stars for its size

"One of the beginning books i've read. Lots of tips for such a small book. Surprisingly good photos. Generally covers everything for start up, buy this book when buying a 20 gallon start up kit and you should be off to a good start."
