Book Description
This book is a collection of reviews of the most popular and common freshwater test kits in the areas of pH, ammonia, water hardness, and nitrite & nitrate. Brands like Acquamarine, Aquarium Pharmaceuticals, Jungle Labs, LaMotte, Mardel Labs, Red Sea, SeaChem, Tetra, and Wardley are included in various reviews. Chapter 1 is a review of seven freshwater pH test kits. This chapter deals with the most important water quality in an aquarium. ALL other water parameters affect and/or are affected by pH. Chapter 2 is a review of seven freshwater ammonia test kits. Ammonia toxicity can destroy an entire aquarium overnight. Chapter 3 is a review of eight freshwater Hardness test kits. Water hardness can have a major impact on pH (KH) and is important for keeping stress levels to a minimum in certain species (GH). Hardness is also very important in a planted aquarium. Chapter 4 is a review of nine freshwater nitrite & nitrate test kits. While nitrite & nitrate are not usually an immediate danger to your aquarium inhabitants, they are an important indicator of the "health" of the Nitrogen Cycle.

Angelfish
Author: David A. Lass
Publisher: Fox Chapel Publishing
ISBN: 162008001X
Category : Pets
Languages : en
Pages : 145
Book Description
David A Lass’s introduction to angelfish fulfills its subtitle, “Understanding and Keeping Angelfish,” and more. This colorful guide in the Fish Keeping Made Easy series discusses angelfish in their natural Amazon rain forest habitat in South America and the needs of this beautiful and recognizable fish in the home aquarium based on their dietary, water conditions, and behavior in the wild. The chapter “Angelfish Groups” describes the three species of angelfish (Pterophyllum altum, P. leopoldi, and P. scalare), the most popular twelve color variations seen in local pet stores, and the special traits of the species. Separate chapters are devoted to selection and care, feeding and diet, and reproduction. The author discusses the keeping of angelfish in an “all-angel” tank (shoal of angelfish!) as well as in a community tank, and gives solid advice on selection of equipment and live plants. A chapter on parasites and diseases will be of great use to all fishkeepers trying to avoid fungal, bacterial, and viral diseases in their tanks as well as general treatment protocols and hospital tanks. Glossary as well as resources of websites and publications conclude the guide.
