For those willing to accept this challenge, this definitive reference book will prove an invaluable tool in helping to ensure success in a very rewarding hobby. The book is divided into six main parts.
Sea water covers nearly three quarters of the Earth's surface and the wealth of life that it supports is astounding in its diversity. The often vividly colorful fishes and strange and intriguing invertebrates of the coral reef world are certainly captivating, and more and more aquarists are turning their attention to them. The appeal of the marine aquarium lies not only in the beauty of its inhabitants, however, but also in the challenge it presents to the aquarist - the most spectacular species are often also the most difficult to keep. For those willing to accept this challenge, this definitive reference book will prove an invaluable tool in helping to ensure success in a very rewarding hobby. The book is divided into six main parts. The first examines life on the reef, provides an insight into fish anatomy and studies the various major groups (phyla) of invertebrates that are of interest to the aquarist. This section closes with an informative look at the topical issues of collection and conservation. Part Two gives practical advice on setting up a marine aquarium, from exploring the options to the final preparations for the tank's inhabitants, while Part Three focuses on how to choose species and maintain them in the aquarium. Parts Four and Five feature fully illustrated surveys of the many different species of fish and invertebrates (respectively) suitable for the home aquarium. An increasingly popular area of the hobby - the coldwater marine aquarium - is explored in Part Six, which also suggests a number of suitable species. Finally, the book contains two appendices: on tropical marine algae and on species to avoid.
