I have been in the hobby for about 15 years, give or take.. I must say, fish are my least favorite thing about reef keeping. But, being that I will be opening a store in the very near future I need to know a lot more about fish than what I do.
Anyhow, just wondering if there is a certain book that stands out above the rest when it comes to saltwater fish. I am looking for a book that has great photos, information and shows compatibility.
Any help would be appreciated or if you have a book for sale please let me know.

Most of LFS that I go to have this book near by for a quick reference. Not sure that it has any compatibility data in it, but why not print out the list on the Drs. Site and post it near the tanks!

Thanks for the information. I have flipped through a couple of those books before. Knowing little about fish I just want to make sure that I get the correct information the first time around.
Thanks again!
