We all started much the same way - saw the fish and liked them and then
caught the disease.
I think the orange book by Ray Leggett ( and John Merrick) would be your
best starting point but have a look at Adrian Tappin's Home Page via the
links on the ANGFA Home Page and you will get l;ots of good info too;
