A FISH Story

AQUARIUM FISH, an AMERICAN publication is done well. Yes after reading the reviews here I can say the ads are abundent as the articles also are repetitive. But helping people learn more is a vital part of any hobby.

I also wish there were more fresh water and pond articles in it. But a mixture can never please everyone.

Having a forum in it would be a great addition as would an online one.

We have a few tanks of different sizes of freshwater so my opinion is skewed for that.

I will resubscribe at an extreme discount but why do they not have a multi year one???

do you need more photos?

we have a pair of oscars that have just started breeding. they have givin us 2 batches in 3 weeks. we have pictures of her laying the eggs and we have many pictures of the baby's. the really young batch and the older too.please get back to us.

Mainly for beginners

In my opinion, this magazine used to be better than it is now.
I stopped subscribing when it got to the point that the great majority of articles were clearly written for rank beginners and very repetitive of other articles in recent issues. I don't need to read yet another article on how to take care of guppies or explaining what a barb is.
Also, as with most hobby magazines, there isn't much copy editing or fact-checking.
Another beef I have about this and most other aquarium mags is that a large proportion of the articles are about tropical reef organisms and reef aquarium issues, when keepers of reef or other marine tanks are only a small percentage of aquarists. They, and we, would be better served by moving this material to specialized salt-water publications.
On the other hand, Aquarium Fish does still have some good writers on certain topics. You just have to wade through a lot of repetition of basic information to find them.
