 Take this with you when fish shopping! January 3, 2002
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This book is invaluable when determining how to stock your tank. As Reefers know, once a fish is in your tank he is likely to stay there. Getting a fish out can damage other livestock and is basically impossible with a good reef design. Therefore, you need to be sure about the fish you purchase, before you put them in your tank! This book gives you detailed information about tons of fish with full color pictures, and easy to understand descriptions. You will know what they eat, how they get along with others, whether they are reef safe, and more. You will have this book broken in before you've had it a week! A must have!

This book is a true Encyclopedia for Aquarists, marine biologists or scuba divers. This book is very comprehensive and includes all the marine fishes you will ever see in and out of a true marine aquarium. The writer suggests which fish to buy and which to avoid, not only from buying but from taking it from it's nature habitat. it includes a very detailed description of every fish in the book, the tank mates the fish should have. The special food for every fish, The size of the aquarium every fish must have. And of course a beautiful picture of the fish and much more. I recommend this book for every scuba diver, marine biologist and of course Aquarists, professionals and especially for people whom are new Aquarists, it will save you lot of money and save many fish from dying in your aquarium. This book worth much more than it costs.

Interested in setting up a Fish Only Marine aquarium? Concerned about fish that will be compatible with the invertebrates in your Reef aquarium? Want to expand your knowledge beyond the 10 basic marine fish that your local aquarium store has in stock? Then this is a good book to consider. Loaded with full color pictures (on glossy paper)of marine fish, the book gives a concise summary of hundreds of these salt water inhabitants. The book itself is easier to handle than the smaller dimension Baensch Atlas and the print is larger. And the price is good value for your aquarium dollar. Bring this book with you to the aquarium store, and when you see that incredibly beautiful marine fish that you have never seen before, a quick read in this book will give you some of the information you will need to make an informed decision as to whether this fish will fare well in your aquarium at home.
