For fish keepers interested in either marine or freshwater fishes, there are specific chapters dedicated to both, covering topics tank setup, equipment, parasite, and favorite species.While Marc is often laugh-out-loud funny in all of the chapters, it is his genuine admiration of all kinds of fishes and animals in general that makes this book a unique resource for all pet lovers.
