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.
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.
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.
The real McCoy of Marine Fishes August 14, 2008
If you have a salt water aquarium, this is the one book you must have.
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.
If you ask the fish store about a fish, they are probably looking in this book for the answer.

This is a must have book for the novice to choose which fish are right for your tank
