One of my students asked me what is the best fishkeeping book for beginners.
This was my very first fish book I was given as a present from my eldest brother for my tenth birthday.
It became my fish bible (or fish bubble!) and I read it from cover to cover, memorising all the fish names and their biological requirements. I learnt about fish diseases and fish husbandry and breeding. It gave me hours of pleasure just looking at the beautiful pictures of fishes. My quest was to collect as many of those fishes as I could.

Today it still takes pride of place on my bookshelf, next to my Fish Vetting Essentials.
