WW-116 Aquarium
Filtration By Richard F. Stratton There have been many advances made over
the last few years in the technology applied to the field of aquarium filtration. Today's
aquarists can't really make sensible choices between different types of filtration devices
unless they can make truly informed choices, and this holds true for both freshwater and
saltwater hobbyists. This book provides information that will benefit both experienced and
beginning aquarists in making the proper choice of filtration equipment from among the
many types offered. Practical recommendations are made about which types of equipment are
best suited to particular aquarium situations and readers will learn exactly why certain
filters perform specific filtration tasks more efficiently than others. hardback $9.95
WW-035 Aquarium,
Setting Up The By Spencer Glass 1998, hardback, 64 pages, Having an aquarium in your
home can be richly rewarding and enjoyable if the aquarium lives up to all of the
expectations you had for it. But since it can do that only to the degree that both its
actual setting up and the planning that goes into the selection of its inhabitants are
done correctly, beginners really need the type of guidance that comes only from
experience. Providing that experience-proved guidance is exactly the purpose of this book:
to tell-and also to show in the many full-color photos that accompany and explain the
text-how to choose which equipment is needed and how to go about the actual mechanics of
taking the raw equipment and furnishings and turning them into your own personal aquatic
wonderland. Success with your first aquarium also depends to a good degree on which fishes
you start with, so that vital topic is covered also. $9.95

TS-177 Jumbo
Fishes For The Large Aquarium by Axelrod 320 pages, over 350 Color photos and
Drawings, hardback, Aquariums have become a worldwide hobby because they are decorative,
instructive and life saving. Doctors have conclusively proven that people with aquariums
live longer because they relax more. Consequently, more and more aquariums have appeared
in doctors' offices and waiting rooms of one kind or another. Hotels and bars also
maintain aquariums. In many of these locations, the size of the fish is important because
the viewers could not get too close to the aquarium. Thus a demand for larger fishes for
these display aquariums led collectors to supplying larger fishes. The author, Dr. Herbert
R. Axelrod, is the world's leading, authority on aquarium fishes. Between 1950 and 1970 he
collected and sold thousands of large fishes for public aquariums. During this period he
learned to collect them, transport them and keep them alive. This book is that story.
Which are the most interesting large fishes, how to keep and feed them and, in many cases,
how to breed them. $34.95
