Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
I love this magazine, I do. But alot of the time I feel like it should be titled "Saltwater Aquarium Fish." Most of the fish talked about are saltwater species, although they do have freshwater on occasion, and the topics covered can get a bit repetitious. However, this is one of the few aquarium magazines out there, and it does have excellent information for the hobbyist. I highly recommend this magazine for any fish lover, especially if you have children. The section exclusively devoted to children's questions doesn't make them seem insignificant to adult's questions -- instead, they treat the kids with respect, as the future of the hobby. Kudos for respecting all questions, from every age! Comment | Permalink | (Report this)
