Bettas (Complete Pet Owner's Manual)

This book contains info that I haven’t been able to find elsewhere. The chapter about the diseases and the chapter about feeding Betta Fish were really good. I also especially appreciated the info about the heaters and how to avoid killing your fish! I’m very glad to have this book.

I was looking for a book that would give me information on care for my pet Bettas. I wanted to know everything there is to know about them so I can provide the best of care. And I found it in this book. I liked that Mr Goldstein went into detail in each chapter. For example in foods and feeding he gives details on how to raise some of the live foods that bettas like instead of just barely touching on the subject as so many books do. I feel I got more than I bargained for in this book and found it interesting to read about the history, characteristics etc. It is exactly what it says, a complete pet owners manual. Its a good reference manual if I should ever need it for either breeding or diseases and treatments.So, if your looking for a book that just gives you a little information on how to keep a betta in a itty bitty bowl and feed flakes, this is not for you. All others, I would recommend this one for sure.

The product is a good book, very informational about bettas and their history and diseases and types of bettas, but I personally would not classify it as a "Pet Owner's Manual". It includes a lot of information about keeping bettas, but seems to be more focused on the fish itself than keeping them in an aquarium. I think you could find a better help manual for keeping betta fish.

A nice little guide. Beautiful photos and useful information. Would have liked if it had photos of the many varieties of betta splendens with labels, descriptions. It is not comprehensive, but it is a good summary of care for beginners.

Beautiful book with excellent illustrations and typeface for easy reading. Most of the book deals with bettas in general, history, species variations, breeding, etc. My search was for information on caring for a single male betta in a gallon bowl. This book did not provide the practical advice and instructions I was seeking. The one I ordered which came closest to meeting my needs was Quick & Easy Betta Care (TFH Publications).

This is a beautiful wonderfully descriptive book filled with exquisite pictures!! I just wish there was a little less about the genealogy and more about careing for your Betta Fish.

It's not perfect but the book goes into detail on how to keep your Betta alive for 20 years

Good info and makes keeping Beta fish easier. I've had lots of these beautiful fish over the years and enjoyed reading about them. Book is well written and has some good pics.

I have no dislikes about the book its very helpful and gives great tips about looking after betta fish i would recommend it to anybody wanting to keep betta fish to buy this book

Terrible book. I can't speak to the (extensive) betta species information but the care information is absolutely incorrect. Spawning information looks like someone guessed entirely, it isn't even close to ANY of the current or past recommended spawning methods. Do not waste your money, there are some excellent betta sites run by breeders and true enthusiasts that can provide you with proper and accurate information based on fact and experience.

Great transaction. This book is well written. Could have more information on aquarium and betta care such as feeding etc.I would still recommend this to Betta fish owners or anyone considering it.

good info inside.

Expectations met and then some!
