Back-to-Nature Aquariumguide
by Kjell Fohrman
There are few pieces of furniture that can compete
in beauty with an aquarium. A beautiful aquarium decorated with plants
and cardinal tetras, an aquarium with rocks and fancy-coloured Malawi cichlids,
an aquarium with magnificent discus and shy catfish — well, there is something
for every taste. An aquarium is not only a piece of furniture but also
a piece of nature moved into the living room. Starting up an aquarium means,
among other things, assuming also a responsibility of providing the fish
with the right conditions so that they get on well. This Back to Nature
Aquarium guide which contains more than 600 colour photos provides all
necessary advises (size aquarium, decoration, plants, technology, water
chemistry, food, breeding, diseases, to buy the fish etc.) for anyone that
is going to start an aquarium. More than 550 fishes and plants are also
described with a short informative text and a photo. This book is the fifth
in the Back to Nature-series (Tanganyika- and Malawi cichlids, Catfishes,
and Discus).
Kjell Fohrman (Jonsered, Sweden) has more than
25 years experience with keeping and breeding aquarium fishes, both as
an hobbyist and as a professional. Over the years he has written hundreds
of articles in aquarium magazines and has made a large number of lectures
on subjects ranging between African cichlids, aquarium decoration, technology,
water chemistry, and fish expeditions. He is currently chairman of both
the NCS (Scandinavian Cichlid Association) and ZOORF (Swedish Pet Trade
Organization).
