not attained with fishes as with other domesticated animals. It is hoped 
that this book will remove some of these difficulties and enable all to 
indulge in this enjoyment to whatever extent they may be inclined. 
In the preparation of this volume the author has made use of every 
available source for information, and is personally indebted for aid in 
various ways to Dr. Herman Burgin, Dr. Robert Formad, Dr. Henry 
Skinner, Dr. J. Percy Moore, Mr. Stuartson Brown, Mr. E. G. Vanatta,
