Maybe some info on water changes, chemistry, filtration... What is the most exotic fish in there? What does it say about the care for it? Or difficulty level? Back then a JD was considered a glass banging psychopath. Now they are just considered moderately aggressive. Post whatever info that you find interesting and contradictory to modern practices. Very cool find. Are there any ads in there? Like the newest latest and greatest UGF? Anything like that?
Hah. I was born after the release of the internet to the public.
I don't really know what these things with floppy paper bits with pictures on it are...

Me too. I remember when we "got" Internet for the first time in my house. Dial up AOL...
. I remember when our school first got computers and started a computer lab... Horrible old macs. My dad kept fish before the Internet was around when I was very young. I remember the books he had and it was always so fun to go down to the LFS and see everything. I would catch tadpoles from nearby ponds and put them in a paludarium (with no filter and it had no name at the time) and raise them!
My dad kept African cichlids and later on a big community tank, I remember liking the upside down catfish and the angelfish.
That's neat. I think we had something like that for something else but I don't remember what for.
These were my 2 books when I was a kid also in the early 70's. You can see how worn out they are. I learned all my info as a kid from these books. Now I own a pretty extensive selection of books on freshwater fish, saltwater fish, reef corals, live plants and reptiles.
