:I want the ultimate guide to plants (especially for freshwater aquariums).
:I found hte following two books which interest me. Does anyone have these and what do oyu think? Do they have full color photos of each plant?
:Aquarium Plants - English Edition
:Author: Christel Kasselmann
:Format: Hardcover, 528pp.
:ISBN: 1-57524-091-2
:Publisher: Krieger Publishing
:Pub. Date: October 2002
:Aquarium Plants, The Practical Guide
:Author: P. Teepoot
:Format: Hardcover, 216pp.
:ISBN: 0964505843
:Publisher: New Life Exotic Fish, Incorporated

:Right now I'm leaning towards "Aquarium Plants - English Edition" because it coveres twice as many plants and from the info i've red, it goes into much more detail about the care/reprduction/fertilizer/etc requirments for plants. It also has twice as many pages. Does this book feature color photographs?
The (ultimate) aquarium plant book? Only two words in that category: Takashi Amano. Nature Aquarium series and any related pubs can be found by a google search on his name. Teepoot's book is pretty good, but you did request the ultimate :-)
