    Hi all

    Thinking of getting a few books.
    Thought I would start a thread so we share books we have and would recommend.

    Also where they can be obtained at a good price.

    Looking at getting some of these:
    Back to Nature: Guide to Nano Aquaria ISBN-13: 978-9189258150
    Nature Aquarium: Complete Works 1985-2009 ISBN-13: 978-0793806492
    Angelfish: Understanding and Keeping Angelfish (Fish Keeping Made Easy) ISBN-13: 978-1933958224

    Regards
    Gerhard

    Depends on what you prefer.

    I buy books on a particular group of fish/genus rather than a general "how to keep tropical fish" type of book.

    In the Back to Nature Series, there is a good one on Discus, also one on Plecs.
    Aqualog is also very good.

    There are also a few mini series, but can't think of them offhand here at work, will have to check when I get home.
