My daughter (7) and I setup our first tropical tank and used this book, along with resources on the internet and from our local fish store. I thought this provided a good overview that isn't too technical or long. I read it in an afternoon. Some things I thought were interesting;-A history of fish-keeping as a hobby.-Good photos and descriptions of the fish-Several different tank setups with photos and fish selection.-Keeping the fish healthy with photos of what common problems look like. I've heard of ich, but now I know what it looks like.Plus, it also covers marine (saltwater) tanks which we may want to do if we stay with the hobby. Overall an excellent book to start with.
