Summary: Take this with you when fish shopping!
Review: This book is invaluable when determining how to stock your tank. As Reefers know, once a fish is in your tank he is likely to stay there. Getting a fish out can damage other livestock and is basically impossible with a good reef design. Therefore, you need to be sure about the fish you purchase, before you put them in your tank! This book gives you detailed information about tons of fish with full color pictures, and easy to understand descriptions. You will know what they eat, how they get along with others, whether they are reef safe, and more. You will have this book broken in before you've had it a week! A must have!

Summary: The Bible
Review: Yes, my boyfriend and I refer to this book as the bible. Having been in the hobby for about 4 years, we have made mistakes here and there, but we would be in much more trouble without this book. It gives comprehensive information about each fish's temperment, feeding, maintenance, aquarium suitability, and recommended aquarium size. We wouldn't buy a fish without it.
