books


I have been in the aquarium hobby for about 6 years and have recently set up a planted tank with community fish. It is a 20 high w/ swords and java ferns. Does anyone have any suggestions on planted aquarium books, i have had no luck.

I really enjoyed the Encyclopedia of Aquarium plants:

I just picked that book up for around 20 bucks. It seems like it will be a good companion for my planted tank needs! (Now if only we can get something like The Conscientious Marine Aquarist for FW tanks...)

I also own this one, very good book.

Another book I own and really like is "Planted Aquariums: Creation and Maintenance" by Christel Kasselmann.

She also has one titled "Aquarium Plants" that I have not yet purchased. Her books are kind of expensive but I really like the one I have.
