Can anyone recomend a really good aquatic plant book? I’m looking for something with extensive, easy to ID pictures as well as as detailed care for a wide range of species.
Thanks in advance.

August 30, 2008 at 8:08 pm #308942I don’t know if I have an older version of the book that Eyrie mentioned but it’s called ‘The Encyclopedia of Aquarium Plants’ by Peter Hiscock.
A fantastic book – tells you all about water quality, lighitng, Co2, nutrients etc, has a section on setting up various biotopes and half of the book is pics and profiles of plants – great book for anyone interested in aquarium plants.

September 3, 2008 at 5:48 pm #309412Thanks for the replies everyone. I’ve just picked up a copy of “The Aquarium Plant Handbook”. Produced by Oriental Aquarium in Singapore.
For pics and descriptions on a huge range of plants it’s great. And it has a forward by the man himself, Takashi Amano.
