If there is anything remaining that you would like to learn about either of these two major groups of marine fishes, I don't know what it is! General group information (reproduction, distinguishing characteristics). Very detailed accounts of each fish species, including size, location where found, how captured (if cyanided), average temperature where located, maximum size, aquarium suitability, what they eat, suitability for reef aquariums, ability to get along with conspecifics and coinhabitants, necessary lighting conditions, variations in colors, hybridized species, etc. Great photos too. This one will definitely stay on my reference shelf!

Everything written by Scott Michael is EXCELLENT! He's my favorite aquatic author. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND all of his books!

Reviewed for web site:- whats that fish. Wonderful book, full of pictures and information, a must have for any diver or aquarium hobbyist!

As yet another in his series of reef fishes this one does not disappoint. Another great book with fantastic photos and info, a definite must-have for the serious saltwater hobbyist.

In the days of web pages we sometimes forget how nice it is to have a hard copy to take with you anywhere. I would flip around on various web pages that sell angel and butterflies just to see all the varieties, after finding this book I'm not doing that anymore(well not as much, LOL). I will be purchasing the other volumes, but unfortunately the publisher hasn't published the entire series as of yet. PLEASE PUBLISH THE OTHER BOOKS... Thanks Scott for a great book!

This is a quality picture book with excellent photographs and a good general overview of species. The problem is they have tried to cover too many species rather than provide a real focus on Angel/Butterfly fish. Because of the broad number of species covered they have not provided enough detail on key areas like specific illness and conditions that may occur in ownership and how to remedy them.

This is most likely one of the best books written on the subject of reef fishes. Great suggestions for care and wonderful photos.

No question about it. It is the greatest book on angelfish and butterfly fish. It is full of the photos for the identification.
