What is your favorite source for fish information?

[gfink]

I have been using: http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/categ.cfm?pcatid=830 to learn about what kind of conditions different fish like.

They mention things like which fish should be schooled, and which fish should be in pairs etc... They also have minimum tank guidelines which it seems my local fish stores seem to ignore.

Do you have any other good resources?

AA!!

Fishprofiles.com the info there is submitted by members, and is slightly different than liveaquaria, but is pretty good all-in-all

I have found some interesting recommendations at liveaquaria.com, my favorite being that the tiny otocinclus cat needs a 30gal minimum aquarium. Not true!

I like fishprofiles.com and badmanstropicalfish.com, as well as the killer site planetcatfish.com. There are tons of fish-specific sites as well, like cichlidrecipe.com.

Probably the best way to get info is, as mentioned above, to post a question here about a particular fish and you will get first-hand info about the fish from people who have kept them and know what they are talking about.

LOL, Message boards all they way! I prefer getting information from knowledgable people like all the people here, although I sometimes go to species specific sites for some expert advice (such as Koko's Goldfish site for my goldfish) which can be found at aqua rank.

My favorite source for fish information is my own personal library. Over the years I've amassed quite a collection of fish-related books and articles (both scientific and 'popular'). For simple taxonomic purposes I like fishbase.org. Since I lean toward certain predatory fish...I spend a lot of time at AquaticPredators.com.

For general aquarium knowledge and great cameraderie....there's no place like Aquarium Advice!!

Books, people with experience and cross referencing other sites. Sites members use most can be found here.

I like www.fish.mongabay.com . It's got a nice search option and seemed to be pretty thorough. Lots of freshwater fish species.
