Awesome scientific book
This isnt a book of pretty pictures, go get an amano book for those. This is a book aimed at people who want to setup a low tech easily maintained but beautiful aquatic habitat with plants and fish.

I will admit it is not the easiest of reading in places, but digested in chapters and then re-reading the sections in particular, will expand your knowledge no end!!

I have followed the principles in the book and have a natural based aquarium running for over 2 years now, with all manor of plants and fishes in it. Always happy, healthy and I get many comments on it.

If you want to try something different, get this book :)

Fabulous!
This book rules!
If you are any serious about keeping freshwater plants you have to own this book. Lots of info on substrate, lighting, alleopathy, algae control, etc.
This book is not a freshwater plant encyclopedia, you will only find some drawings and scarce photos. It is a scientific masterpiece on freshwater botany.

excellent
I found this book absorbing, easy to read, interesting and yet it still managed to bring out the scientist in me!! It is a wonderful book that can be read at most levels and doesn't need a degree in biology to be understood. If you only buy one book on aquatic plants this year.....
