A guide to keeping piranhas with information about the physical characteristics of the different varieties, their care and feeding, and how to set up and maintain the aquariums in which they will make their home. Review: Plenty - Nice book! Review: Good Photos - This book has some great photos, glossy and colorful, but overall the book is not 100% accurate. All of the photos have descriptions underneath or on top of them briefly describing the fish, and the descriptions next to the photos sometimes are not even describing the species in the photo as if the author either didn't know what species it was or there were several misprints when forming the book. I suppose most(about 85-90%) of the photos have accurate descriptions to match, but defintely not all. There is quite a few pages of text but most descibe tank setup and basic stuff most aquariumists already know. So basically this book is really only good for the wonderful photos included of the different species which may be good enough to buy for a few bucks if you're just looking for some nice piranha photos.

my first piranha book
i first got this book b4 i got the fish and found it to be most informative with good pictures and information contained threw out a good buy for any person wanting or thinking about keeping these fish... it is a book that is serious in the right places but not a real professional book like some that i have read

Apsolute Waste of Money
What a waste of money. You'd better of reading an article or an expert advise on the Internet than reading the entire book. Which adds to my frustration is the extra cost I encountered on shipping the book internationally. It has absolutely neither a meaningful new peace of information nor a serious know how.

Great Guide For Keeping Piranhas!
As a first-timer with piranhas, I purchased this book over the one by David Schleser after flipping through both at the library. 5 years later, I can honestly say that this has been my guide to how to set up the aquarium for the piranha, to what to feed it, to what illnesses they can receive and how they can be treated. I have not used any other source of information regarding piranhas and mine has been very and healthy thanks to this book.
