Ok so i know the internet is a great recource. But i can only spend so much time shorting through all the info for just one little bit.
What i would like to find is a book that skips all the beginer stuff (common knowledge) and gets straight to the facts. And when i mean facts, i want a book that has a page with a picture of the fish (preferebly mal and female) its scientific name, its common name, prefered water paraments, what its natural envierment (sandy bottome with rocks sandy deep water ect.) its dietary needs, and its reproducing specifications (like water paraments, diet, male to female ratio, tank size, and average amount of fry produced)

This is another good book set I've seen in person-I ogle it at the moment since I can't afford it
