Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 8

Positive aspects of the product (pros):	Lots of good information
Cons:	Some ridiculous info

Most of the stuff in this book is pretty useful. However, I would take some of the information with a grain of salt. An oscar in a 29 gallon? Really? And also, it doesn't mention how to cycle without fish. But other than that this book is pretty good.

I have the second edition but still has the Oscar in a 29 gallon tank. Other than that, pretty useful info.
