The New Zealand Native Freshwater Aquarium

Surprisingly colourful, attractive and varied. These fish are easy to look after once their needs are understood, and are an interesting and very enjoyable alternative to exotic aquarium species.

This book discuses the New Zealand freshwater fish best suitable for the home aquarium and includes detailed information on how to find, catch and look after native fish -- with a strong focus on how to identify the different species.

Stella McQueen became fascinated with native freshwater fish thirteen years ago and promptly threw herself into researching, writing and educating others about our freshwater fish and their habitats. Her first book, A Photographic Guide to Freshwater Fishes of New Zealand inspired her to complete an undergraduate diploma in freshwater ecology at Massey University.
