Abstract
THOSE who wish to keep a fresh-water aquarium would do well to provide themselves with this little book, which contains a large amount of useful information. First comes the making of the aquarium and the plants which are most suitable for it; following this there are chapters on goldfish, cold-water fish and tropical fish, with notes on the habits, food and proper treatment of each species. These notes are interesting and amusing, and one can learn much from such a short survey. The illustrations, figuring most of the best-known aquarium fish, are by Mr. L. R. Brightwell, who always imparts an individuality to every creature he draws.
