Publisher Description: In Japan, breeding Koi -- a colorful fish in the carp family -- is an art form. This book speaks to its increased popularity in America with information on maintaining a garden pond and proper care of the fish. Heavily illustrated with vivid color photos and instructive line art, "Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals" show and inform pet owners regarding proper care of dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians, small caged animals -- virtually every creature that is kept as a pet. The books give advice on purchasing and otherwise acquiring a pet, feeding it nutritiously, keeping it in good health, and where applicable, grooming and training it. Each book in this large series is individually written by a specialist, and though the information is authoritative, the text is clear and straightforward, easy for every pet owner to understand. |
