 Basic Foods. September 23, 2007
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
I felt that this book was ,altogether, too basic. It discussed only the most coomon food sources for a hobbyist. I was left wanting for more. It is a very small, very limited resource. It does discuss how to culture a few types of live foods, but I have found the same information in several other aquarium books, in their fish food sections. Your better off buying an aquarium encyclopedia, with a section on live foods.
 Informative book January 9, 2007
This small book was full of information for tropical fish keepers that desire to know more about feeding live foods.

This is the better of my two Practical Fishkeeping books. This book is also 64 pages, but doesn't need anymore. It discusses ways of gathering and/or culturing all the various live foods, including white worms, grindal worms, microworms, brine shrimp, infusoria, daphnia, bloodworms, gnat larvae, gammarus, and earthworms. It has very specific recipes for culturing some of these live foods, and it also helps you to plan a "menu" for your particular fish based on its needs by explaining the nutritional pros and cons of each of the live foods. For example, it states that you shouldn't feed adult fish microworms too heavily because they are very fatty, instead, you want to feed them to your young fry or your pregnant mother fish which require the additional fat.
