I need a good plant book

[Quitcuttin]

Hi im new, I have a 20 gallon planted tank. I recently bought a book from my local pet store but it doesn't say much about co2.
I need a book that give me some info on tropical fish and more about plants. Any suggestions would be greatfuly needed.

Thanks;)

I don't have any specific plant books myself -- I must have 4 or 5 and I don't like any of them. I mean, the Amano books are amazingly vague, if incredibly inspiring. In general, I like the Barron's pet series, and I have the plant book, but it's not going to go into much depth as far as substrate, CO2 andlight spectrum...

The best source I can recommend is Karen Randall's columns for Aquarium Fish Magazine. She is also past president of the Aquarium Gardener's Magazine and I believe she is linked there from AFM each month. Try that...

Once again, welcome to AC...
