I was able to open this book and immediately diagnose a health concern my many volumes of general tropical and goldfish books could not. My large Oranda began making improvement immediately and was able to make a full recovery within a few days. I found this worth the cost of the book (not cheap). This is an overly expensive book, but if you need it, I guess it's worth it to save your fish as it's much more specific in goldfish health concerns than any other book I have found. However, a small portion of the book deals with anesthesia and surgery and that cannot help me nor most goldfish keepers (but most of the context is very valuable). There is a large chapter specific to Ranchus that many may enjoy.

When I got this book in I picked it up at bedtime and looked it over. I was mesmerized by the beautiful pictures of the different goldfish. Some were whimsical, some were artistic, some were serious and down to business. The topics intrigued me and I looked forward to looking through the book again. Which I did. The next night. Just as mesmerizing and intriguing. I have been through that same process about 5 times, sometimes reading small sections, sometimes just enjoying goldfish. I now plan to study the book carefully, as the author suggests, to master the content. The book has a massive section on diseases and has some practical and technical advice on keeping and making our fish healthy. Upkeep, tank setup, water conditions, all is covered in this beautiful book. This book is about keeping goldfish. Only. That is why I will go back to it again and again. It has become one of my most prized books. EnjoyRead full review
This is an excellent reference book on fancy goldfish. It will provide the reader with the basics of fancy show goldfish husbandry as well several chapters on diagnosing and treating ailments that one might encounter. There are wonderful photographs to complement the text. In my opinion, if you are truly serious about keeping really top- notch goldfish healthy, this is the best resource available. The reader will also enjoy the history of goldfish cultivation in China and Japan, a critical part of today's hobby.

I love this book. Excellent! Covers everything a goldfish owner needs to know about caring for a pet to show quality goldfish. Everyone that owns a goldfish and cares about his fish should own this book!
