A field guide on fish and other aquatic life (plants, amphibia, reptiles and invertebrates) you might keep in an aquarium. For a book of its age, the photographs are really excellent and the care/biology information in the introduction seems pretty solid. The book is brief enough on listing numerous closely-related freshwater species that the saltwater section is nearly equal in length, and the pages on invertebrates, amphibians and other living things (like hydra, water fleas, mollusks) round it out nicely. I never saw turtles, newts, frogs or the axolotl featured in an aquarium book before.
