Manual of Fish Health

Fish need more than a tank of water and some dry food to stay healthy. The fish-keeper is regularly challenged to find out what's wrong this time.
The subtitle of the book “Everything You Need to Know About Aquarium Fish, Their Environment and Disease Prevention” says it: This informative manual is a guide to keeping your aquarium healthy. It contains information on diseases, parasites and bacteria, how to recognize and treat them. They are listed in a practical A-Z directory with a guide to prevention and treatment. The book also discusses water chemistry management to keep the fish’s environment healthy.
The term ‘fish’ is defined broadly in this book: Freshwater as well as saltwater fish are treated, fish from tropical as well as temperate climates and pond as well as aquarium fish.
The manual is abundantly illustrated with (underwater) pictures, charts and diagrams.

The authors are specialists in their fields. Chris Andrews specializes in fish diseases and works at the South Carolina Aquarium. Adrian Exell develops aquarium products. Dr. Neville Carrington specializes in fish diseases and water chemistry.
