I downloaded this book a while ago and have to say it is one of the best books I have read for a long time.

The information on Rainbowfish is second to none (at least of books that I have been able to find and have read).

The whole section on feeding is very extensive and relevant to keepers of all types of fish, I found it excellent, I could not put it down once I started reading it.

Regards

That's tempting.
IMO some clarity is needed on the water conditions these fish like - I've read so much conflicting advice. I have tended to steer clear of them. Although I like praecox, madagascan and celebes rainbows.
