just for pretty good basic info, liveaquaria.com has good stuff on adult size and habits and requirements.
And thankyou,thankyou,thankyou for trying to find out: So much nicer to advise from the start than to try to get somebody out of a mess! If you have a specific in mind, do ask online: someone will have had experience in the species.

My recommendation to anyone starting out is to pick up a copy of Scott Michaels Pocket Guide to marine fish.

my problem is that my girl want to help pick out the fish, we walk through the LFS and she's like" i want one of those, and how about one of these" then i gotta go look them up online one by one and figure out if they are an option or explain to her why they aren't a good choice.
there's got to be an eaiser way.
