Hi there. I'm working on an informative speech that I have to give for a class. I of course am talking about fish. More specifically I am talking about carnivorous fish in the home aquarium, diet needs, and diseases. I plan to focus mostly on Archers, Bichirs, and Arowanas.

Where I need help is I am required to have 4-6 sources, only one of which can be a website. I'm of course using this as my website ;) Could anyone give me the name of journals, books, magazines, newspaper articles, anything that could help me fulfill this requirement.

Thanks a million. I'll let you all know how it turns out.

alot of members and mods on MFK are just as good or better than books filled wit info
 
BeBlondie's list is a great place to find what you need.
 
I agree, great list. If you can't find all of what she listed, go to a large fish store. Most of the time, they have shelf afer shelf of great books, usually not too expensive. But I am sure you can find most if not all of those she listed by "googling" them.

For a more generalized bibliography I agree that the library is great, most have an Axelrod's, some also have fish keeping magazines.
