Excellent reference for Marine Fish species

This book is an excellent tool for Specie reference.But iam disapointed with the setup section.This could have been a bit more comprehensive with more quality diagrams and more aquascaping options.

A great resource for fishkeepers.

This is one of my favorite books. It provides information and more importantly photos on nearly 2000 fish. The information gives you the basics about each fish, how big they get, what they eat, are they agressive, etc. But the best aspect is the photos. With over 1900 photos it is the first book I go to when I want to look up a fish. Or when I'm thinking of what to put in that empty tank I'll often browse through this book looking for neat fish.This book gives you the most for your money!

This is a must have reference for both beginner and advanced

This reference allowed me to find compatible species for my reef tank. Many aquarium stores have staff that aren't as informed as they should be. This reference saved me from a potential disaster in choosing the wrong species of fish.

The Mother of All Mini Atlases

If you are looking for a way to identify your marine fish in your aquarium look no further. Dr. Burgess Mini-Atlas of Marine Aquarium Fishes is a great reference and pictorial guide to marine aquarium fish. Do not be mistaken about this books intentions! It is an identification guide with lots of pictures and references so you can identify and classify marine aquarium fish. It is not a care guide for Marine Fish although it does talk about the correct parameters for keeping marine aquarium fish. At less than half the price of the larger version of this book you can't go wrong. It belongs in every Marine or Reef aqaurists library. Reviewed by Brian Fox
