hey, guys.

I took Marcus' advice on the book about Oscars from Richard F Stratton.
That book will be on it's way.
Now my wife spotted another book called "Aquarium care for Oscars" by Neal Pronek.
Anyone know if i should buy that one as well?

Also looking for other good books on Oscars.
What books do you have or can you recommend to me?

the only one I have is "Aquarium Care of Oscars" (Neal Pronek & Brian M. Scott). it's published by Animal Planet. I'm not sure if Amazon ships to Holland, but I posted a link so you can see what the book looks like at least.

I'd rate it as "pretty good" - but I haven't seen other Oscar books, so not much to compare it to. It has good info about the history and has nice photos.

I have both the books you have mentioned and they are very good. However, I don't think you'll learn much more than you will here, but you'll enjoy them nevertheless.

Not trying to hijack the thread but it does apply...are there any other books that are good for oscars or any fish for that matter...health and treatment books and others like that?

I'll look into getting the oscar books mentioned above but also wanted to see what other books are available for general fishkeeping that would be good to have.

Its the only fish book i have sad really, I have seen some other books i would like. one is a arow book mainly pics and cost £50 so I won't buy it. the other is a general care of salt/fresh water aquariums. it cost about £45 so again put me off. It was a good book if I see it again I will buy it, cos it covers a lot of illness. i can't remember the name though I don't think there is a lot of specific oscar books.
