Dr. Burgess's mini-atlas of Marine Aquarium Fishes

The only thing "mini" about this book is in its title. This book is a beautiful and immensely colorful work that satisfies the long-existing need for a comprehensive identification guide to marine fishes. It shows not only the popular aquarium fishes but also the oddballs and weirdos, the large public aquarium type fishes, warmwater and coldwater fishes, and foreign and domestic fishes. There is also a large section devoted to the setup and maintenance of marine aquariums. The fishes shown are indexed by both common and scientific names for ease of reference. One of the handiest features of this Mini-Atlas is that it uses space-saving symbols in the captions, which include numbers and symbols that provide at-a-glance information about the fishes' families, feeding habits, sizes, temperaments, swimming habits, and aquarium lighting requirements. It gives you all the information you need to identify and maintain marine fish.
