Book Reviews of Manual of Fish Health: Everything You Need to Know About Aquarium Fish, Their Environment and Disease Prevention

Book Review: Useful but not an exhausive resource
Summary: 3 Stars

The book is pretty good for most aquarists as all should have something to help with the diagnostics and treatment of their pets. There's some pretty good photography of various diseases that simplifies the text, and in each section there is a little box of explanation of a point in the text, be it a bacteria type or similar. Where the book falls slightly short in my opinion is in the treatment section. I would not advocate the use of all the chemicals in this chapter and some may well be impossible to obtain for most people. In this case, I would recommend using the book then visiting a professional fish keeper, specialist shop or vet with your diagnosis after consulting the treatment section to see if there is an alternative.

All said and done anything that can help easy diagnosis and lead to the correct treatment of fish disease is a good thing.

Summary of Manual of Fish Health: Everything You Need to Know About Aquarium Fish, Their Environment and Disease Prevention

A comprehensive guide for fish hobbyists.

A healthy environment is crucial for all aquariums. It is often a challenge to understand what fish need to survive apart from a tank of water and a daily sprinkle of fish food.

The Manual of Fish Health is a fully illustrated and highly informative guide covering:

  • Maintaining a healthy aquatic environment
  • Recognizing and coping with pests, diseases, parasites and bacteria
  • Water chemistry and how to achieve the correct balance for your fish

This book explores vital aspects of health care for all types of fish including freshwater and saltwater, tropical and temperate, and pond and aquarium.

The clear and concise text is abundantly illustrated with underwater photography, charts, and diagrams.
