Customer Reviews

Great book
This is a great book to learn about guppies and has great pics, i do think this book is more for breeders then for beginners, as for just a basic home tank i found myself still asking some questions, but still has a lot of good info.

Great info: from beginner to advanced hobbyist
Stan, the author, has been breeding IFGA show quality guppies for over 30 years. He consistently places in the top three at the IFGA shows. Guppy strains have come a long way over the years with ever increasing beauty and new colors. This book will show you how to keep all guppies in top condition with great advice on feeding, water quality, lighting and disease. Many color photos and many are of Stan's own IFGA show fish. Even if you only have a tank or two of guppies obtained from the local fish store, this book will have something of value for you. There's a small section on how to selectively breed your gupps to maintain their quality and keep the offspring looking like the parents. I encourage guppy enthusiasts to pick up a copy of this book.
Like Stan, I'm also a member of the IFGA and encourage you to show your guppies at one of the shows and share the guppy hobby with a youngster, to keep this fascinating hobby alive for future generations.

A good book
