Encyclopedia of Aquarium & Pond Fish

Written by David Alderton and published by DK, the Encyclopedia of Aquarium & Pond Fish is a exactly 400 paged book about keeping aquariums & fish ponds. This book includes marine, freshwater, and brackish water, as well as a "DIRECTORY OF POND FISH", which has most of the breeds of Koi and many breeds of goldfish (through goldfish are not kept commonly in ponds anymore). Before each directory/list there is always the introduction, a setting up, section, a management section, illness and treatment (including a chart of sicknesses) guide, and a breeding guide.

The book is split into 3 main parts (in order): Freshwater-based, marine-based, and pond-base. This book (for the freshwater section and the pond section) has a small list of plants for the aquarium/pond.
