A-Z of Tropical Fish Diseases & Health Problems

I wish that I had this book to read before I started my freshwater tank. It is amazing how difficult it is to find good and reliable source of information. This book covers just about everything. Detail is great - it is very comprehensive about the diseases and treatments, and what's even more important - Causes. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in keeping their fish healthy and stress-free.

This little book is actually a gem. It covers a variety of fish illnesses with an introduction that addresses standard care. Unfortunately, some of the medications that it recommends are difficult to relate to the American market, as it was written in the UK. That, and perhaps the lack of more photographs, are the only two complaints that I have. Overall, I recommend this book for the beginner and the professional!

One of the best books I purchased. Although I really hate to use it (means fish are sick) it is very informative. In fact, I had more information than my local pet store.Good luck finding some of the cures.... some can be very difficult. Overall great reading!

This book should be required reading for anyone setting up an aquarium for the first time because the author carefully explains how to create the type of environment that will keep your fish healthy.I needed the book to determine the cause of sickness that was killing my fish. I was able to determine the cause, disease, and solution to my problem in twenty minutes. I learned more about fish and aquariums from this book in one reading than I had picked up from friends and fish store owners in three years. I highly recommend this book to anyone with an aquarium problem.

This books starts off at the right place, by emphasising the need for good maintenance practices, which in turn lead to healthy fish. The second section details in alphabetical order a list of possible symptoms (eg spots, hollow belly) whilst the final section lists, again in alphabetical order, possible treatments. The book is well organised and very easy to use. The only reason I cannot give it five stars is the paucity of photographs on symptoms.
