Description
Authoritative text, crystal-clear photography, and a systematic approach make this handbook the most comprehensive guide to all kinds of marine and freshwater aquarium fish. Packed with over 700 full-colour photographs of more than 500 varieties, it is designed to cut through the complicated identification process and enable you to recognize a species instantly. Each entry combines a precise description with annotated photographs to highlight the chief characteristics and distinguishing features of each fish. Colour maps indicate the natural range of the species while colour-coded bands provide at-a-glance information on size, diet, and temperament. For beginners and enthusiasts alike, this handbook explains what a fish is, how aquarium fish are grouped and classified, and how the many different underwater environments have affected body shape, markings, and coloration. There is practical advice on choosing fish and managing an aquarium, and a concise glossary gives instant understanding of technical and scientific terms used in the book.
