- I used to (about two years ago) work in a petshop that carried Aquarium Fish
- magazine. Because I was selling it (shop also carried Tropical Fish Hobbyist
- and Freshwater and Marine Aquarium), I got to know all of them pretty well.
- Aquarium Fish was the most beginner-oriented of that group (it may have
- changed since then), having articles on "setting up your first tank" and
- the like mixed in with a lot of intermediate stuff like raising swordtail
- fry and the occasional advanced article on discus or breeding show fish
- or other slightly more esoteric topics. They had a little marine stuff
- as well. Tropical Fish Hobbyist was also mostly freshwater, but tended to
- skip the real beginner stuff like "first tank" articles, and use the extra
- space for more exotic features. Freshwater and Marine Aquarium was somewhere
- in between, and also notable for more marine coverage, opinion columns and
- equipment reviews. For a lot more marine articles, try Marine Fish Monthly.
