I was recently gifted with a 29 gallon aquarium that is stocked with various fresh water tropical fish. I have the basics down about not overfeeding and keeping the water clean, but that is pretty much where my knowledge ends.
I have a couple questions that I hope someone here can answer for me.

1. There a scads of books at Amazon. Is there one best "bible" for aquarium hobbiests and amateurs?

2. Four of my five angel fish have been murdered.

I know they were attacked because their long white fins were gone, but I have yet to catch the culprit. Are the following fish compatible with each other? If so, would there be another cause like the tank being too crowded?

- Angel Fish (1)
- Albino Shark (2)
- Grommie (1)
- Siclid (5)

(my spelling is iffy)

Thanks for any advice out there.

PS: It sure would be nice to have pets all in one area.
