5 out of 5 stars Hands down the best reference for saltwater fish   November 10, 2008
I absolutely LOVED this book when I had my saltwater tank. It was invaluable for selecting the right fish for my set up. (Great detail on behavior, aggressiveness, space needs, whether or not compatible with coral, feeding needs, etc.) And the pictures can NOT be beat! Now that I am doing freshwater, I am trying frantically to find a book that was even half as useful and I am somewhat hard pressed. This book is a must have in my opinion.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent Quick Guide   September 20, 2008
This is an excellent quick guide to help you learning more about salt water fishes. It not only helps you deciding what fishes you want next but is also a very helpful guide to carry when shopping for new fishes. You can easily identify fishes that you don't know, with a scale with 1 to 5 on how hard it is to have it at home and compatibility with other fishes and invertebrates.br /br /The highlight of this book, in my opinion, is showing pictures of Angelfishes when they are both young and adults, as their pattern change completely.


5 out of 5 stars Good quick reference   September 13, 2008
This book is great for when you want all the basic facts on a potential fish tankmate right there at your fingertips. Quick to find what you need, and very to-the-point. Great handy guide.


5 out of 5 stars The real McCoy of Marine Fishes   August 14, 2008
If you have a salt water aquarium, this is the one book you must have.


5 out of 5 stars Great Reference Book   July 2, 2008
If you need a quick, comprehensive marine fish reference book this is the one to get. It is small enough to bring with you to the fish store and get a quick rundown on behaviors, ease of keeping, etc.br /br /If you ask the fish store about a fish, they are probably looking in this book for the answer.
