I have this book and the marine invertebrates book and I don't go to buy saltwater fish without either one. It's saved me from some costly mistakes. I've researched online and in other books and I have found both books are quite accurate. I only wish I owned them sooner. Worth every penny.

It does not matter if you are a begineer or an expert marine aquarium hobbyist Scott Michael's marine books are a must have. The Reef Aquarium Fishes book is a handy tool for finding reef safe fish for your aquarium. Its may be small in size but is packed with tons of useful information. I use it before I make any new purchases for my marine aquariums.

Scott W. Michael is the authority on salt water aquarium fishes. I have been in the hobby for years and I found this book to be well researched and well written. I refer to it often. It includes the standards in the industry as well as information on less well know species that are becoming available. I highly recommend it.

Great source of information by Paul D. Sheldon (Sugar Hill, GA) 5 Stars
