This book has been on my living room table for years. It goes into GREAT detail on how to breed and care for goldfish. It even tells of certain leaves you can add to a tank to help with the health of your fish. At least once evey few months someone (including me) sits on the couch and reads through this interesting book.
Chinese Goldfish, by a Chinese expert!

I've had this book for many years in a German translation and even though the translation isn't always correct, the photographs and discussions alone opened my eyes to another world of goldfish! This book illustrates well that it is the Chinese who have created the original colours and forms of all known fancy goldfish on the market, barring perhaps the Tosakin, and illustrates very well the differences in taste in breeding between the Chinese and the rest of the world. Curled Gills, Dragon Pushing a Ball, Goose-Head Redcaps, etc., etc., this book (in my translation) aslo presents these Chinese fish with their original names; a wonderful book if you love goldfish!
