New Zealand has an intriguing collection of native freshwater fish that are 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 discusses 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 a few years ago and promptly threw herself into researching, writing and educating others about our freshwater fish and their habitats. Her first book, The New Zealand Native Freshwater Aquarium, inspired her to complete an undergraduate diploma in freshwater ecology at Massey University.
