What's the best aquarist magazine?

[Sati]

Whether it be all about SW, FW, reefkeeping, or just a mix of everything under the sun.

 

[captivereefs]

FAMA is probably the best. Aquarium fish is to small. Tropical fish hobbiest is probably the second best.

I like TFH the best followed by FAMA. I don't read Aquarium Fish too much anymore.

I get all three! Aquarium Fish is a lacking in substance but sometimes there is good info in there. I think FAMA is my favorite.

 

[loganj]

FAMA is my favorite as well.

I am an ad guy. FAMA has the most ads and stuff. Aquarium fish has the best photography. Tropical fish hobbiest is kind of in the middle of the two.For useful information you will find more online than you will in a magazine.

I am an ad guy.

Does that mean you like ads or dont like ads? I would pay more and get less ads personally.

 

[captivereefs]

I like ads. I like pictures and stuff. It is interesting to me to see all the wierd products that come out on the market.

 

[fishfreek]

Ah. I like pictures also. Infact I would proably not notice if there was an issue of just photos with captions.

I do the classic flip thru the mag and look at the pictures first. Then maybe read the articles assocated with those photos.

 

[TankGirl]

I like the ads as well, to an extent. I can learn more about products and companies that I hear about on the web, and learn about new things coming out. Plus you can get website addresses from ads and do more research. FAMA has a lot of technical articles, too, and the more you get into this hobby the more those appeal to you.

Here are some direct links for everybody.

Are there any others?

 

[oscarbreeder]

I like Aquarium Fish Mag.
It's the only one I get.

 

[Sati]

Hold on, I'm looking for way cheaper prices. Don't order from those links yet, heh.

 

[Sati]

I'm looking for discount prices and here's what I've come up with so far.

Freshwater and Marine Aquarium $23

Click here to subscribe to FAMA magazine. Enter "$2.00 discount for Pet Fish Talk listeners" in the box titled "Special Instructions and Comments" near the bottom of the check out page in the shopping cart.

Aquarium Fish $8.95


OK, that's the best I can do so far.

 

[oscarbreeder]

How many issues in a 1yrs sub. to FAMA?

 

[Sati]

It's 12 issues a year for each of the 3 mags.

 

[TankGirl]

Not bad! Way to go, Sati!
