SynopsisGoldfish come in a range of sizes and looks that is truly amazing. Fancy Goldfish is the most encompassing and thorough treatment of the fancy goldfish hobby to date. With photographs, essays, and instructions from a variety of experts, this book will provide readers with all they need to embark on the fascinating hobby of raising fancy goldfish. Fish veterinarian Dr. Johnson writes extensively on goldfish health and disease, including microscopy techniques, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of the full span of goldfish diseases. In a helpful and accessible "frequently asked questions" format, Richard Hess provides a general introduction to all aspects of the hobby, from selecting the best fish, aquarium setup, maintenance, feeding, sexing and breeding, and keeping fish healthy. Jackie and Louis Chan, major exporters of fancy goldfish from China, discuss the tradition of goldfish appreciation in China, and a chapter on Japanese goldfish describes the history and standards of uniquely Japanese varieties and the techniques and secrets of Japanese breeders. Izhak Kroshinsky, a leading breeder of Ranchu in America, describes his methods for cultivating a superior strain over the last twenty-five years. With over 100 color photographs of beautiful specimens and rare varieties by Fred Rosenzweig, this book is a stunning visual reference as well.

Exactly what I needed, but a pricey book
I was able to open this book and immediately diagnose a health concern my many volumes of general tropical and goldfish books could not. My large Oranda began making improvement immediately and was able to make a full recovery within a few days. I found this worth the cost of the book (not cheap). This is an overly expensive book, but if you need it, I guess it's worth it to save your fish as it's much more specific in goldfish health concerns than any other book I have found. However, a small portion of the book deals with anesthesia and surgery and that cannot help me nor most goldfish keepers (but most of the context is very valuable). There is a large chapter specific to Ranchus that many may enjoy.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
