Dick Mills is an experienced fishkeeper and author with a very clear understanding of the needs and aspirations of beginners to the aquarium hobby. His ability to explain unfamiliar and often quite complex concepts in a clear way is put to good use in the first part of this book. Dick has an excellent 'pedigree' in the fishkeeping world, having kept a wide range of fishes over a period of more than 20 years and pursuing an active involvement in the Federation of British Aquatic Societies, for which he regularly lectures and produces a quarterly News Bulletin. He is the author of several books on a range of fishkeeping subjects.
