Any recommendations ?

[AquaAlbatros]

I'm looking for a good ornamental fish disease book, my literature is too old (almost 30 years), just wanting to know if they are any new books.
Thank's, Juan.-

i cant find much that i rate very highly
the one i intially used mot was probably
the BSAVA manual of ornamental fish 2nd edition

should be able to order through the british small animal veterinary associatin

otherwise i have older books aswell, untegasser, stoskopf


just did a quick search and 136-169$ was the price coming up!!!!

57£ to me in the uk - expensive

I'm sure that you are looking for something a little less intense. Barrons publishes a good basic paperback that is fairly up-to-date - and it won't cost an arm & a leg. The author is a hobbyist & microbiologist, for whatever that's worth.

mike the bsava manuals are usually pretty basic , being as i knew nothing about fish medicine as a fully qualified to treat them vet , let alone fish anatomy , i liked the basic , easy to read format

i think anyone interested could gain a lot from this book
the price is stupid though - there charging enough to make me think it is/should be the only book i need to know every detail on fish medicine

personally the web has just as much decent info for free

just my 2 cents
untegassers book, nice flow charts for diagnosis and then treatment tables , not much understanding provided just name and treatment suggestions, older book too

stoskopf - doesnt do much for me

My personal favorite book and the one I use most often at work is Fish Disease Diagnosis and Treatment by Edward J. Noga. I'm told that it is pricey but I am not sure how much.

i would recommend the following book by Bassleer.
It is good because it has full colorful photos showing the
symptoms of various diseases. Despite some weird claims
(my personal thought) in places, the book is a good reference.
The price on Amazon.com is US$76.99....
