[Telco Guy]

Anyone got any others to list? I think I'll use this list as a start to a "Recommended Reading" List.

[funkybozu]

i ordered the Consientious Marine Aquarist
Aquarium Corals
Marine Fishes

they cosat a lot, so ill have to wait to get the others
thanks for the help

[Sugar Magnolia]

You'll be very pleased with the books. I usually have my face in one of mine at least once a day. I still need to get the marine fish and the two volumes byDelbeek and Sprung.

[gman0526]

I forgot to mention that a real nice publication is Coral Magazine, lots of good and interesting reading. Though I have no clue if they will mail to Japan.

[funkybozu]

nop if its a mag then i dought it :( , books i can get through amazon but magz....

[Telco Guy]

Well, they do seem to have it:

Format: Magazine
Shipping: Currently, item can be shipped only within the U.S.
Publisher: Ecosystem Publications
ASIN: B00028WYVS

But as it says, "Currently, item can be shipped only within the U.S."

But for anyone else here is a link.

Coral Magazine (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/external-search?search-type=ss&tag=coralforumsal-20&keyword=B00028WYVS&mode=books)
Publisher: Ecosystem Publications

[funkybozu]

yeah you cant import magz to japan for some reason?
book had to be imported apperently so ill have to wait a weeek

[funkybozu]

i ve just recieved the 3 books i ordered. wow they good
i ran through Marine fishes and it seems like a very good book to give you an
idea out this or that fish
the C.M.A im half way through, it has so much info this one, worth the price i payed by far, it has a nice fish section too, l lot more detailed that M.F.
but it doesnt really cover how to keep . the two books go side by side in my opinion.
i havent yet gt into Aquarium Corals but , i have high expectations lol
thanks again for the great ref.

[Riptide]

I agree with Sugar Magnolia. I have all of the same books plus vol 3 & 4 of Nilsen & Fossa and corals of the world by Vernon.I highly recommend them all.

[marshalrckman]

C.M.A is my fish bible.It helps with everything.Its kindly expensive but it is a verey wise investment.

[Riptide]

I totally agree. I wore out my paperback of C.M.A. and now have the hardcover. I love that book.
