This is a wonderful book. Lots of good information from setting up your tank to picking goldfish. Just what I was looking for. I've had goldfish for over 20 years and this book is a great refresher for me. Just wanted to make sure I was doing everything right.

This book was a nice little guide that answered several questions other goldfish guides left out. I especially loved the chapter describing the goldfish varieties available in pet stores. Overall, this book was easy to read and goes into detail about setting up your aquarium and bringing your first goldfish home.

I highly recommend it for those looking to introduce a new goldfish to the family.

Fairly disappointed. 1. This is way out of date, it's a reprint from the 80s. 2. Bad guide!! As a goldfish keeper I am more than well aware of the basics, and if someone is just starting off this will get it all wrong for them. NEVER keep fish in a fishbowl! Especially goldfish. EVER.
