Really nice photos of tropical fish,
As the title clearly specifies, “Focus on Freshwater Aquarium Fish” it’s not a book on setting up an aquarium. I don’t understand why anyone would expect to find such information in a book that focus’ on the fish.
What you do get is pages on pages of GREAT color photos of various common species of freshwater fish. The pics are superimposed on a white background and really stand out. There is some text describing the fish and it’s behavior but not too much.
Every aquarist should have a such a book to show new fish enthusiasts or guests in your home.

|The focus is on photos,
This book is neither an ‘encyclopedia’ nor an ‘atlas’. The title says it all i.e. it’s a focus on aquarium fish. It’s not about plants or filters or feeding requirements. If you’re looking for a book with lots of info about fish keeping, this one is not for you. I bought it for the pleasure of the absolutely fantastic photography. All of the fish are presented with a white background so there is no distraction from the fish itself. This is a stunning,unique,artistic book. For this it has five stars in my opinion.
