Hah...that raised a chuckle from me...After spending various periods of the
last 20 years raising a number of different types of fishes in various
bowls, bottles, tanks, and ponds, I finally got the bug to buy a Betta or
two.  So, having decided that I should know a bit more about Bettas before
buying one, I read the ETF and Innes Betta entries and then decided to
buy a Betta-specific book to learn more.  I ended up buying a book(let)
called "A Complete Introduction to Bettas" (by Walt Maurus).  A hundred
and twenty three pages later I'm not sure I know any more than before I
started reading that little booklet. [btw...if nothing else, the color
photos in the Maurus book are excellent].

Sooo...my question is...are there any good books on Bettas out there?
