T HERE are hundreds of varieties of small fresh water fishes, native to the 
various warmer countries of the world, which may be successfully kept in 
aquariums and pools. Of the many species of these fish, a few are outstand¬ 
ing in their beauty of color and form, as well as their interesting habits of 
breeding. During the past ten years the hobby of keeping these tiny Tropical 
Fish has gained great popularity in Europe and in the United States. We list 
here only the best varieties of proven merit. 
KEEPING IN THE HOME—When properly managed, a balanced aquarium 
can be easily maintained; and with clear water, growing plants, and with some 
colorful Goldfish and a few Tropical Fish, is a source of much beauty. Tropical 
Fish will live contentedly in rather close quarters, and will proceed to mate and 
raise their families in their accustomed way. However, if you are a beginner in 
this hobby, we suggest that you order at least one of the books we list before you 
start. The most essential points for keeping Tropical Fish are a balanced, healthy 
aquarium, kept between 65 and 75 degrees. If possible, do not allow the tem¬ 
perature to vary more than a few degrees. For extra heat in Winter, automatic 
electric heaters are now avaiable at low cost. (See Page 16). 
* Varieties marked (*) will live together peacefully. 
SHIPPING—No shipments can be made during spring season, April 1 to 
June 15th. After June 15 and until about the end of November shipments are 
made in special containers packed to keep fish from chilling. Add 50c for 
shipping can. We guarantee live delivery of Tropical Fish shipped during warm 
weather only.
