Ready to add fish - looking for resources

My wife and I are almost ready to add fish to our system. We are looking for online resources that are great to research possible fish.

Any suggestions?

I agree. Liveaquaria.com will have decent info. If you want more specific first hand experience on a certain fish just start a thread in the Reef Fishes forum.

I give you props for doing your research instead of going for an impulse buy.

I agree with the liveaquaria suggestion.

Also, check the stickied threads in the "Reef Fishes" forum here on RC. They contain great info about tank sizes, compatability, difficulty level, etc.

Good luck with your selections.
