Find a good local fish store, do your homework, ask questions.By C. PilsonI couldn't get through this book, so bear in mind it "might" have magically improved, but I doubt it. This book is a recipe for a disaster. I read up to the point of describing the pH of saltwater aquariums and had to stop reading.A few observations:1. There are issues with mechanics/use in this book. The plural of coral is not the same as its possessive. "Equipment" is just that. It's a collective noun. There's no need to attempt a plural by writing "equipment's." The book reads, honestly, as a text written by a non-native speaker of English. That's fine, but when writing a book--even a leaflet as this--it is useful to proofread and hire/bribe/trade work for a qualified editor.2. The list of fishes given for a beginner setting up a freshwater tank is silly. Discus Really! Discus grow to dinner-plate size, cost $20 for a small one, need VERY high-quality water (think RO/RODI water), and need live food to thrive, bloodworms to be "okay." How do I know this I used to breed them. Arowana: these fish grow up to 18"-24" off the top of my head. In the beginner tank--probably a 10 gallon tank--these fish will prematurely die. Catfish: what kind Corydoras or Otocinclus cats are fantastic, and cory-cats are a great first fish, but others can grow to ridiculous sizes and are unsuitable for beginners. Freshwater sting rays: No. Just no. Green spotted puffer fish: no. Hell no. GSPs are brackish--at best--and will DIE if left in fresh water. They get up to 8" and are known to be very aggressive. Moreover, puffers tend to only really "go" for live foods like ghost shrimp or other inverts. I had a SA puffer for a while, in a brackish setup. Easier to care for than a GSP, but still not a fish for someone new to the hobby. Cichlids: sure, these are okay, but I'd not put these in a 10 gallon tank. Plus, the inclination that beginners will have is typically against a biotype tank. They want (plastic) plants, and African cichlids need a rock-based tank, with more caves and nooks than fish. Electic blue lobster: Again, just no. These need a larger tank than a 10 gallon (30G+) and need, as with other inverts, careful monitoring and know-how. For instance, you don't want these in a tank when the beginner has to treat with copper for making the mistake of putting new fish straight into the tank without quarantining first. Finally, even though it's not mentioned here, and even though they're adorable, please don't get a CAE/pleco and put it in your 10-gallon tank. It will be unhappy. It will die. If it's a CAE, it will die only after going after the slime-coat of your other fishes.Please, if you're getting into the hobby, go to a local fish store and spend some time with the employees. Ask them a few questions:1. "I just bought a tank. I put water and dechlorinator into it. What fish can I take home with me" If the answer is anything but a talk about cycling a tank, and nitrogen-fixing bacteria, walk away. This is not a good place to do business with, as they're selling you fish that will be dead in a couple weeks--unless they suggest something like Zebra Danios and cycling with fish, but I'd not recommend this method. IF, however, you are gently redirected, given a good idea of bacterial colonies that need to be set up, and an offer of a scoop of substrate or filter media to jump-start the process, this is an LFS to stay with. They know what they're doing and are happy to go without your short-term business to help you succeed.2. "So, okay. When I cycle the tank, I can just plop the fish in there, right" No. Their answer should take a two-fold approach: (a) they should talk about setting up a quarantine tank. You really, really, really, really do need one of these. Yes, really. You use this tank to introduce new fish(es) to your main tank, and to pull sick fish(es) out of your main tank and treat with medicine. It can be as simple as a 5-10G setup, no substrate, and no charcoal in the filter. (b) They should also talk to you about acclimation to both temperature and pH. They should note that you ought to "float the bag" in the water to equalize the temperature. This will let the new fish adjust to the temperature of your tank without throwing it/them into thermal shock. pH is a different matter--most fish can tolerate about a 0.2pH differential, but many people just wing it. If you're a breeder, this isn't done, but people seem to get away with wider variations than this. Still, the LFS should warn you about this. Also, ideally, they would request you bring a water sample in with you, as they've already seen you once and recommended a tank cycle.3. "A friend of mine said that ich was a common fish sickness. I have snails (or clown loaches, or other fishes with skin rather than scales or scutes). How do I treat the tank" The answer here should be along the lines of, "that's what your quarantine tank is for. And as ich is treated with copper, you REALLY don't want any inverts in the treatment tank, as copper will readily kill inverts." As for the loaches or other delicate fishes, I have heard you can treat with half-doses of copper, but I would personally treat via temperature and adding garlic to their food. Also, I'd put them into a tank with no substrate and manually/mechanically remove the cycst as they appear. Over time, this approach will win out and the fishes will survive.4. "I'm new to this and want to start cheaply. Can I just buy this 10 gallon tank and--ooh! A goldfish! I love these! And tetras! These are pretty too!" The LFS should at least tell you two things: (a) a goldfish--one, by itself--really needs 20G+ and is a really messy fish; (b) a goldfish is a cold-water fish, while tetras are warm-water fish. This is not a good set-up. Bonus points if the LFS tells you WHY the fishes need different water temperatures (O2 solubility decreases as temperature increases), or if they gently redirect you to a bigger tank, suggesting that a 10 is a fine starter-tank, but you'll probably want to move to a 55 and keep the 10 for a quarantine tank soon enough, and to plan for that.My own recommendations for good "first-time" freshwater fish Zebra danios. Corydoras catfish. The smaller tetras (diamond, cardinal, neon). Note that cory cats and tetras are social; count on getting 4-6 for them to be happy. Note also that zebra danios are fin-nippers (especially the long-finned variety); get 4-6 to ensure that no one fish gets mauled too badly. Also note that cory cats are primarily bottom-dwelling fish with sensitive barbells, so sharp gravel is not a good substrate choice.As for saltwater, if the rest of the book plays out as what I have read, the advice will be a recipe for disaster.I myself cannot and will not recommend saltwater fishes or setups--first, there are too many setups and considerations: DSB or shallow Bioballs in the sump, or not What lighting should I use (short version TONS. Enough to put a dent in your electricity bill, especially if you want corals) Can I handle a nano-reef tank (if you have to ask, no) I will say this though: you must, no matter how much your child begs, steer clear of a "finding Nemo" setup. True clownfish are NOT a beginner fish, and anemones--with EXPERT saltwater people and top-of-the-line setups--have about a 50% mortality rate within the first year, and a 95%+ rate over about 3 years. Anemones are expert-level organisms, even the "easy" ones such as a green carpet anemone.Sources: I've done a ton of reading over the past 15 years. I have run FW and SW setups in retail environments, and run freshwater setups at home and successfully bred discus and angelfish (FW) before. And cory cats, though that was unplanned. I've moderated on, and developed for, a rather large online fishkeeping forum. Moving, and moving long distances, finally took me out of the hobby. This book, however, would have spelled disaster for me had I started with it and not known any better. "I'll take one 8" max-sized super-aggressive pufferfish for my 10-gallon aquarium, please!" is not a good way to start this hobby. You will be disappointed and possibly left with equipment that houses only algae and disappointment.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.what a great help,By M.BWe had decided we wanted to get some fish but weren't sure where to start, This book helped alleviate all our issues.
