Buckman Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 Was wondering if anyone got good aquarium books for the holidays? My wife got me something pretty cool. A 1951 copy of Exotic Aquarium Fishes by Innes in great condition with color plates. Check out this little insane blurb on artificial light if you haven't seen it. The book advises to install a light bulb into a board and letting the glass hang down into the water. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stash Beardsley Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 I didn't get any but would love to find some eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biotope19 Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 This classic by Bleher is my favorite. One of the great things about this book is that it gives you information on how to replicate specific Biotopes in nature in your aquarium. A must have! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got this one and love it so much--the illustrations/photos are lovely and the info is a treasure. I'd be scared to death to dangle a lightbulb in a tank, and thank goodness we don't have to. I really hope Mr. Innes in whatever form he currently exists can see our spectacular LED lights and planted tanks and know that he helped get us here!

xXInkedPhoenixX Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 (edited) Didn't get any fish/aquarium related books but I got myself a super cool book nook as a Merry Christmas to me. The lantern lights flicker and the window of the Potion Shop changes color Edited December 26, 2021 by xXInkedPhoenixX 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
