Reviews
This book is a great start when trying to decide what marine fish to buy. It is handy to take with you to the fish store. There are certainly other great sources of more comprehensive & definitive information about specific fish, but anyone looking to buy saltwater fish should start here.
The author, Scott W. Michael, is a renowned expert in this field. He has more than 25 years experience as an aquarist and diver. He has written several other books and contributes regularly to Aquarium Fish Magazine.
Ron Shimek's PocketExpert Guide to Marine Invertebrates is finally available and is an excellent companion to this on. Also, Michael's Reef Fishes series offers a far more comprehensive coverage of fish for those who seek more. — Amazon Reviews
