Which is the best fish health book?

Post by gedtranter »

I'm looking to get a book on general fish health and disease id and wondered if there were any in particular that come recommended? I was hoping that there might be a standout book to buy, that those 'in the know' have. There aren't any in the book review section. Thanks.

Peter burgess suggested this book to me the other day in an email 'BSAVA Manual on Ornamental Fish, second edition, edited by William Wildgoose' but at around £80 its kind of out of my league :cry:

I also use the book recommended by Racoll and rate it as good value.Another book I like is Handbook Of Fish Diseases
by Dieter Untergasser,I found my copy on Amazon and it wasn`t expensive.It`s a little old now but still worth having in your collection.

Thanks for your suggestions, I've gone with the Interpet manual as the price is a bit more realistic than some of the others.
