My aquarium - a manual for beginners
Currently, a book has made it to first place in the bestseller from the aquarium area, which one can only recommend. This is primarily aimed at beginners, but with the extra section on shrimp, you have a real reference work for just 5 euros, which you can not only recommend to beginners. The author Petra Kumbartzky has received very good customer reviews, so you should apply this particularly low price here. On 148 pages there is concentrated knowledge about setting up and stocking ornamental fish.
Practical handbook aquarium and aquarium fish from A to Z
With more than 400 species of fish, amphibians and invertebrates in the portrait, the second book is also a real highlight in our opinion and a clear purchase recommendation. There are stars here 5 out of 5 and thus the maximum number of points. In the bound edition you get rid of 24,99 euros, which is of course significantly more expensive than the book before it. But there are almost twice as many pages here. With 288 pages, this is a decent reference work for the aquarist. The author of the book is Ulrich Schliewen. Many great illustrations help you to decide on the right ornamental fish. This is the only way to make the right choice. The publisher is the well-known publisher GU.
At the same time, we want to present another book by Ulrich Schliewen, because this book has also made it to the top of the list of readers. We're talking about aquarium fish from A to Z: portraits of over 300 popular freshwater fish. Here it is especially the nano aquarium and shrimp. With 12,99 euros you are the owner of this book. Here, too, there are almost 250 pages with clear pictures. The customers are just as satisfied here as with the one already mentioned.
The aquarium: a colorful microcosm in the tank
Another book in the GU series was penned by Axel Gutjahr. He brought out this paperback. Again, everything revolves around the aquarium. The price of 8,99 is a real bargain. This title is also available as a Kindle Edition. However, we would recommend the illustrated book form, because it is easier to read. On just 64 pages, Gutjahr manages to bring the most important things in aquaristics closer, especially to beginners.

Aquarium atlas Mergus: The comprehensive compact work on aquaristics
The various aquarium atlases by Mergus are a real classic. These have been around for many years, but are still very popular with their readers. This book mentioned above is a compendium with over 2600 ornamental fish and 400 aquatic plants in the imagination. For just 19,80 euros you get a 1088-page book. The paperback format makes it easy to hold and read. Every beginner as well as the advanced aquarist should be able to call this book their own. Value for money is simply unique here. Only the pictures seem to have gotten a bit old, but this does not detract from the correctness and the content. Editor and author is Hans A Baensch and Rüdiger Riehl.
Lake Malawi Primer: Colorful cichlids for the aquarium
Anyone who wants to specialize and commit to cichlids will not be able to avoid this book, which is also one of the classics, because there is concentrated specialist knowledge here, just like with mergus. The author Andreas Spreinat manages to inspire the readers on 96 pages. Above all, the many colorful illustrations of the cichlids are real eye-catchers.

Aquarium - fun for children: Exciting underwater world
With this book, Gu Tierratgeber have launched an extra book for children. Ingo Koslowski has dedicated himself specifically to children. Here even an age is recommended. This book should be best for ages 6 to 8. With 64 pages, even the kids should be through quickly. Aquaristics can be practiced at a young age, although we believe that parents should actively support them. Mistakes are made too quickly. The reviews here are quite positive and the book is said to be very well written for the children. It costs 8,99 euros, which could also serve as a gift. Because the kids should also inform themselves accordingly first. Of course there are a few more in the field of children's books in aquaristics. Be it the aquarium book for kids or the aquarium primer for kids. Listing all of them here would go beyond the scope, because the selection is very large.
