I would recommend to every aquarist The Tropical Fishlopaedia by Mary Bailey and Peter Burgess. It says on the front “A Complete Guide To Fish Care”, and that’s exactly what it is.

Hi Maisie, I don't think l would put "tropical fish" in you little pond for the reasons already mentioned in a previous post. It sounds like a perfect pond for wildlife to me. I would put 6 Minnows in and let nature do the rest. Now the summer is over perhaps you will let us know how it we...

Hi all, I have been trying to get a picture of the baby Platies l have, it hasn't been easy l have to say. Two have survived and are now big enough to avoid danger. They are still small enough to fit into the mouths of mum and dad but boy, they're quick. I am confident enough to announce the fact to...

Hi Ruth, sorry to hear of your bad experiences with your fish. It is heartbreaking and so frustrating when there is no obvious answer. I am sure you will get to the bottom of it. You have a beautiful pond and garden.
Best wishes as always,
The Lazy Saint.
