The goldfish is a species of hardy fish that can be kept indoors or in outdoor pools. Original goldfish are yellow, but selective breeding produces goldfish in several colors, as well as with a variety of exotic features. This title, along with all books in the comprehensive and popular B.E.S. Complete Pet Owner's Manuals series, provides advice on feeding, health care, housing, and all other important aspects of responsible pet ownership. Each title in the series is individually written from first page to last by a pet trainer, veterinarian, or other pet-care specialist. All Complete Pet Owner's Manuals are filled with high-quality photos and instructive line art.
This is a wonderful book. Lots of good information from setting up your tank to picking goldfish. Just what I was looking for. I've had goldfish for over 20 years and this book is a great refresher for me. Just wanted to make sure I was doing everything right.

Good all-around begginner's goldfish book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This book is a great buy for the money. It provides good coverage to just about every aspect of raising goldfish. Nice and thin paperback with small type to travel easily. Good photos and illustrations. My only disappointment is its section on water chemistry, which basically says, "change the water a lot".
