I realize that this site has lots and lots of great info, but it is scattered around in bits and pieces. I need something a little more 'in order' at the moment. I've already read the really basic, "Freshwater Aquariums" book from Fish Keeping Made Easy. Yesterday I bought, "The Simple Guide To Freshwater Aquariums" which still covers the basics but more thoroughly. After I finish that, what do you recommend next? Something intermediate would be good. I've also turned into a big lover of tetras. Any recommendations on good books about them?

Oh yes and the first book I mentioned is a great book for those who want a really simple book to start out with. I was really confused when I first read about what I needed to do to properly take care of fish and that book, along with this site helped me learn it slowly, and easily. I would recommend it to those who are looking for something simple and easy to follow. Here's a link: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/t...103-0192810-8523025?v=glance&s=books&n=507846
 
Just read your post to me! I too have this book and it has been helpful. I have also searched for informative books and haven't had much luck. So I will keep checking this thread, and hopefully we'll both learn! I would also like to know everyone's favorite fish identification book, pictures, tankmate compatibility, etc. Thanks everyone! :)
 
A very good book for fish ID and technical specie data is "Aquarium Atlas" by Dr. Rudiger Riehl and Hans A Baench. This is not a good book for beginner info, but it does have 900 pages with color pictures of just about every fish and plant for freshwater.
 
Thanks funatnight!
