Beginner Fish Primer - Harro Hieronimus

In his beginners' fish primer, author Harro Hieronimus shows easy-care and beautiful aquarium fish. In his easy-to-understand book for beginners in keeping ornamental fish, he explains which fish are well suited for a community aquarium with an edge length of 60 cm or more, and which have no special demands on their environment. The expert author goes into detail about the individual fish for the aquarium in a well-sorted species section.

From the experience of his many years in aquaristics, Harro Hieronimus presents particularly easy-care and beautiful aquarium fish - for a successful start in aquaristics. He gives important keeping tips, explains the aquarium equipment and, above all, he gives advice on the correct socialization of the scaly jewels in the aquarium - so that your fish aquarium becomes an attractive section of nature in your home.

The Beginner's Fish Primer offers an ideal introduction to the aquarium hobby and, in particular, to keeping ornamental fish in an aquarium. There are many general books on aquaristics with a short species section on fish, but this book is dedicated exclusively to fish. Of course, there is also a short section on keeping ornamental fish, but the species section takes up a lot of space in the beginner's primer.

The fishes presented are all quite easily available in the trade. The information on keeping them and their requirements for the aquarium is rather brief, but adequate. Problematic or oversized fish are not even listed - the author really limits himself to species suitable for beginners.

Harro Hieronimus is a German non-fiction author and besides numerous books he also writes countless articles for professional magazines. He is founder of the German Rainbowfish Society and president of the German Society for Livebearing Toothcarps.
