Purchase options and add-ons

A nano-aquarium―that is, a small-volume aquarium―requires special attention because decline in water quality and increased fish stress levels change in inverse proportion as tank sizes become smaller. In Nanoaquarium, two aquarium experts tell hobbyists everything they need to know about setting up and maintaining a miniature aquarium. Inside you will find information on:

  • Tips for selecting and purchasing a nano-aquarium setup
  • Filtration and ongoing maintenance care
  • Tips for selecting and purchasing fish, including information on breeding
  • Food and nutritional information
  • Live plant selection and aquascaping tips

Nanoaquarium, along with all books in the comprehensive and popular Complete Pet Owner's Manuals series, provides advice on feeding, health care, housing, and all other important aspects of responsible pet ownership. Each title in the series is individually written from first page to last by a pet trainer, veterinarian, or other pet-care specialist. All Complete Pet Owner's Manuals are filled with high-quality photos and instructive line art.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best to start - enough to continue successfully

Truth in "A Complete Pet Owner's Manual". Well organized and written. Straight forward with very little previous knowledge required.
Even for a nano aquarium, there is both investment in time and money. Before you make the commitment for startup and continuing care, this book will show you what is involved.
Be set up to succeed not fail by the following process. Nearly memorize the book, follow their recommendations. There is lot of information on internet. The authors trust.
Your children and grandchildren will always remember your aquarium. My seven children and five grandchildren will.

4.0 out of 5 stars Definitely a must have for the aquaria library

Excellent primer for starters. Disappointed that Endlers were not mentioned since they are perfect for the nanoaquarium but otherwise the book was surprisingly in depth and comprehensive considering how physically thin it is. Perhaps an expansion on the flora and fauna sections would be appropriate for the next edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nanoaquariums - freaking amazing
Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2012

I spent a good long time away from the aquarium hobby (about five years) and when I decided to take it up again, I found out that there was a new trend in setting up tanks less than 10 gallons. Excited, I looked on amazon for a book about the topic - and this one turned up. I love the Barron's Guide series, so I was happy to buy it.

It's a very thin book, so I read it fairly quickly. It had everything I was looking for - newly discovered species that could live in smaller tanks, suggested biotopes, in particular a section on blackwater species and biotopes. Leaves that I could use to leach tannins into the water.

It covered pretty much everything I wanted to know about the nanotank trend, and as always, it had beautiful pictures. Very happy with this purchase.

I recently bought a 5 gallon aquarium kit for a betta, and wanted to know more about nano aquariums. Already read this book cover to cover and found it very informative. Includes sections on setup, filtration, ongoing maintenance, fish selection, live plants, food, and more. My only complaint is the chapter on nano fish is very limited, with only a few fish profiles included. However, I purchased another book that specifically profiles over 100 freshwater nano fish, so the lack of fish information in this book isn't a deal breaker.
