I have the following books about fish and aquariums. There are many others available as well with a range of prices and qualities.
If you wish to buy something at Amazon that is not listed on my page, if you search here and enter Amazon through there, I get about 5% of your order to help support my web site and animals at no cost to you. Thanks!
| Book Information | Link to Purchase |
| You and Your Aquarium by Dick Mills, Alfred A. Knopf, 1993. A great beginner's book. | |
| The Manual of Fish Health by Dr. Chris Andrews, et. al., Tetra Press, 1988. Great book! | |
| The Living Aquarium by Peter Hunnam, Grange Books, 1994. | |
| The Optimum Aquarium by Kasper Horst and Horst Kipper, Aqua Documenta, 1985. This book, which I received from a book sale, may be out of print. It is one of the best books on a complete aquarium and its coverage on plant care is extraordinary. | |
| Aquarium Fish by Marc Ladonne, Barnes & Noble Books, 1999. Translated from French with original date of 1996. This is a large hardcover coffee-table-type book. While there is not much information (it took a few hours to read), the pictures are gorgeous. I have never seen such small fish magnified so large with such detail. | |
| A-Z of Tropical Fish Diseases and Health Problems by Peter Burgess,1999. I bought this book in June of 2007. I have not read it yet but it looks like a very useful book. It is kind of an encyclopedia of health issues (not just problems but things like breeding and color changes). |

| Baensch Aquarium Atlas (there are three volumes plus a forth book that is used to search the first 3 books and 2 not yet published in English; I have all four) by Dr. Riehl and Hans Baensch, Mergus, 1994, 1993, 1996, and 1999. My favorite books, great photos, and tons of information on a lot of fish and plants! I cannot live without these! | |
| The Encyclopedia of Freshwater Tropical Fishes by Dr. Herbert Axelrod, et. al., T.F.H. Publications, Inc., 1996. This is a good choice if you can only have one aquarium book. |
