What about including a semi-detailed desciption of natural foods for each
family of n.a. native fishes? In other words, we should tell the reader
exactly what the fish would be eating had it not been stuck in an aquarium.
I think that would make the book at least a little bit more comprehensive
and for those lazy fishkeepers out there who despise independent research,
it would give them at least a good start in choosing an appropriate diet for
their fish. After reading the section on a specific family's natural diet,
the aquarist could refer to the recipe portion of the book to choose a
recipe which would most closely match the fish's natural diet.
