Species Profiles

Aquarium Explorer offers a growing library of Species Profiles within three BioGroups of interest to aquarium keepers and naturalists: Marine, Freshwater and Brackishwater.

Each Species Profile is linked to its current Family and Genus. Another route to find a particular species is to enter its common name or scientific name in Search at the top left of each page.

All content is written and edited by leading authors, marine biologists, underwater naturalists, and experienced aquarists.
