This very informative handbook provides needed information about selecting and caring for aquarium plants in general and also gives detailed advice about decorating with a wide range of popular individual plant species. Mary Sweeney's choice of plants covers a wide range of different types, from inexpensive "bunch" plants right through relatively expensive specialty items, purely decorative beauties as well as plants appreciated more for their use as food and shelter than for their looks. Illustrated throughout with full-color photos that are excellent for identification purposes, The Guide to Aquarium Plants serves its audience very well.
