Re: NFC: Out of Print Book
I think it is important to keep in mind who the audience is. I don't think
it is aimed at advanced fishkeepers, but rather those wanting to get started
with north american native fish.
I thought the species guide was pretty diverse and didn't notice much of a
bias, other than excluding fishes that are impractical for most small
aquariums.
Differing opinions, I guess.
