I'm looking for recommendations for good books on salt water fish. Im having trouble finding ones with good information in them. In fact, I've had trouble finding good fresh water fish books too. Usually, all I can find is one of two kinds of books, one with lots of pictures or one with very basic knowledge about the hobby. The lots of picture ones are OK but they are only good for fish identification and some very general (and usually outdated) information about a particular fish. What I want is detailed knowledge about how to keep/feed/breed fish. For example, I have a shrimp which is bright red (The pet shop called it a "red shrimp") which I like a lot. Can I get another without the two of them fighting it out? At $30 I don't want to risk it with knowing for sure. I asked at the pet shop, they don't really know. For the most part they answer all my questions but they don't know everything, especially when it comes to salt water fish. -- Ken Dalka (Bell Labs) ihnp4!ihlpg!dalka IE 2F-518 (312) 416-7437
