The second section examines the variety of fish and fish groups, discussing the general advantages, disadvantages, habitats, feeding and breeding requirements of many hundreds of fish in each group. For every lover of marine life, this book offers an in-depth study of the major fish groups, plus all the practical fundamentals of setting up and keeping a healthy tank environment.
