Review: A must have for your home aquarium. - When you look at a book on desertcart and see nothing but five star reviews you might start to feel a little bit worried that things are being exaggerated. This is not the case with Mr. Goemans' and Mr. Ichinotsubo's book, it is worth every star. I picked up this book when I decided to get back into aquarium keeping, I had experience in the past with a 200 gallon FOWLR (Fish only with live rock) system keeping sharks that are generally very easy to tend and make it simple to spot signs of sickness. I decided to get both my feet wet with a reef system keeping "aggressive" fish. I currently have a delightful Snowflake Eel, a Leaf Scorpionfish, a colored Fuzzy Dwarf Lionfish, and a Sea Goblin. I knew nothing about their dietary needs, what diseases might affect them, how best to prepare their food and keep them happy, healthy, and beautiful. I did a lot of research before purchasing each fish and spent a lot of time looking for answers this book was there for all of that process and still is. This will always be the very first tome in my collection of aquaria books. I picked up a handful of books before The Marine Fish Health & Feeding Handbook but all of them covered very common parasites and illnesses that anyone with a few days experience in marine aquariums will know of. Most of the books didn't have pictures, and they weren't illustrated to show differences between scale types of how a disease might manifest between species. A few had feeding recommendations but they weren't anything more than a parroting of the basic information given by a pet store as opposed to an experienced friend or LFS (live fish store). In other words they were practically useless if you had access to Google. In this book I found the knowledge of people who really love aquarium keeping and are dedicated to the habitats they create. There was a wealth of information that didn't necessarily apply to me because of the fish I keep but it was still relevant and appropriate because it gave me the necessary knowledge to help my friends and a broader understanding of marine life as a whole. When you foray into the world of reef keeping or any form of the marine aquarium hobby you are bombarded with information and a lot of it is friend-of-a-friend's-friend-said nature. The books you pick up are full of complicated terms that may leave you boggled, searching high and low for a clear and concise answer to your question for hours. The Marine Fish Health & Feeding Handbook is written in plain and clear English, it has just enough brevity and plenty of clarity. The information contained on feeding and dietary requirements was yet another bonus to this already fantastic book. I will never hesitate to reach for it, and I will always put it at the top of the list for any hobbyist: advanced or novice. You simply cannot go wrong buying this. Review: Overall great book for beginners - I read this book from cover to cover. It's a great teacher and reference. It does a great job in helping you plan out an aquarium, from equipment to livestock choices. The modern, color pictures are very helpful, and the best part was the detail in fish descriptions and compatibility. My only gripe was that the section on illnesses and treatment was rather thin. I could pretty much use this book as a standard in making decisions, but when it comes to dealing with sick fish, I was left to fend for myself in the wilderness known as the Internet. I wish that a revised edition would go into more detail on treatment options and methods for common illnesses such as marine ich. It takes a while to sort through fact and fiction when reading web site forums -- something that's not fun when you have a sick fish to treat. Even though it was severely lacking in that section, the rest of the book more than made up for it. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,353,846 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #359 in Fish & Aquarium Care (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 51 Reviews | ## Images ![The Marine Fish Health & Feeding Handbook: The Essential Guide to Keeping Saltwater Species Alive and Thriving - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/814Bhu3HKYL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must have for your home aquarium. *by M***S on June 16, 2011* When you look at a book on Amazon and see nothing but five star reviews you might start to feel a little bit worried that things are being exaggerated.

It does a great job in helping you plan out an aquarium, from equipment to livestock choices. The modern, color pictures are very helpful, and the best part was the detail in fish descriptions and compatibility. My only gripe was that the section on illnesses and treatment was rather thin.

This new book by Bob Goeman's is by far the the most comprehensive, up to date,accurate, well written, and organized book to have been published in several years. The chapters on feeding and maintaing the health of the corals and fish are outstanding but there is so much other information in the book about the latest techniques of maintaining salt water aquariums. The book's title could have been "Everything You Need To Know To Maintain a Spectacular Marine Aquarium". There are at least a hundred beautiful photos and the information is cutting edge. Your tank can only benefit by your reading of this book!. It should be part of every "Reefers" library.
