Must read fish books
I was looking at Barnes and noble's lame section about our wonderful hobby and I came across this book:
And it got me to wo.seeing if you guys have a favorite book or reccomend a certain one. I have heard about the one called "plants through the looking glass"
Or whatever, but 100 for a book is too steep.

The Back to Nature series is good. We have the Ad Konings Malawi book.

Tropical Fishlopedia is an older title but a good one.

Culturing Live Foods by Michael Hellweg is fantastic.

This one brought it all together for me when I was first starting out with plants. The Optimum Aquarium from 1988 - one of the best! http://www.amazon.com/The-Optimum-Aq...%20/dp/3925916024
This one is really from the other end of the spectrum, but very similar - Walstad's Ecology of a planted Aquarium. http://www.amazon.com/Ecology-Plante...ref=pd_sim_b_1
Have fun

I second this book... love how she takes traditional fishkeeping theories and scientifically turns them on their head.
