I've finally received books I've ordered in amazon.com. Got all 3 Nature Aquarium World which I think some of you guys are very familiar with.
Another one is Aquairum Plant Paradise also written and designed by Amano, this book, in my point of view, is actually much better than Nature Aquarium World, the approach is much more "natural", and given an impression of natural chaos in most works shown. Plants are allow to thrive to their natural looking, most tanks are non-CO2, low-medium lights, natural (non-pushed) growth tank; which offer a chance for me to rethink the need of our "high-tech" approach. Tiger Lotus, and various of crypts were used, riccia only appear in high level such as attached to a drift wood near water surface, moss were used in common to replace riccia in deeper water. Check it out, ISBN 0-7938-0518-X.
I also got the "Ecology of the Planted Aquarium" by Diana Walstad, extremely famous book in U.S. where Perfect Aquarium by Dupla isn't always available. If you like scientific approach to an aqurium, this is a very good book, though suggestions and recommendations isn't always viable, or agreeable; but results obtained through science experiments, and facts from long time observations are very very interesting, and certainly help us to sharpen our knowledge towards maintaining our aquarium. ISBN 0-9673773-0-7. WARNING, this book has no picture at all, basically a binded 200 pages degree paper.
