Books

[Jeewhizz]

With Christmas nearly upon us, I was wondering if you could all recommend some books on planted aquariums. Assume I know nothing about plants. I'd ideally like two books:

1 that is an 'encyclopedia' of the plants, and their likes/dislikes, environment etc
1 that spends time on aquascaping, CO2, ferts etc....

Thanks,

Jee

Good books are hard to come by as they take time to publish, by which time they are out of date, but a good inspirational one is The Inspired Aquarium - by Jeff & Mike Senske, not actually seen it myself but I've heard its got some amazing scapes in it. There are also the Nature Aquarium World books 1 to 3 by Takashi Amano and also his Aqua journal which you can see here. As for plant books tropica have one called The Aquarium Plant Handbook which I hear is very good.
