Freshwater Aquariums for Dummies

The 100,000-copy bestseller–now revised and updated!

Published as Aquariums For Dummies in its first edition, this fun and easy guide has been an invaluable resource for the nearly 12 million U.S. households that keep aquarium fish. And now it’s even better! The book still delivers all the information hobbyists need in order to select and set up an aquarium, choose fish, and keep them healthy. But it’s been thoroughly updated throughout and refocused to concentrate solely on freshwater aquariums. It offers expanded guidance on combining different species of fish, cleaning and maintaining a tank, and correcting common tank problems such as algae build-up as well as coverage of the latest aquarium gadgets and an extensive and accessible troubleshooting section.
