Good fish magazines

BigAction · 07-01-2005, 09:53 PM

Does anyone have any good reading material they like to suggest that's not beginner but not ridicliously hard. I don't feel like hear about the nitrogen cycle and how mollies like brackish water I know this stuff. Books too would be good if not better.

Also, TFH - Tropical Fish Hobbyist. I really like they're new layout and it's aimed at all types of hobbyist's, from beginner to marine biologists.

I think TFH is the best geneeral aquarium magazine in the United States with Aquarium Fish Monthly second. FAMA is more a compendium of advertising than anything else.

Practical Fishkeeping is a British magazine well worth the price if you can get it. Also, there are a number of professional aquaculture journals that may provide some help.

Once you find a specialty, the national societies have their own journals that go a step further.

ypu. I think someone already said this one, but Tropical Fish Hobbyist. Its really good. My favorite. good info

I subscribe to TFH, FAMA & AFM along with some specialty journals.

There have been many big changes in all of them lately, and FAMA just started it's own new format with the new issue. I don't think I like this new format, either.
CORAL is a new magazine that just started about a year and a half ago or so, and it is simply awesome.

Anyway, between TFH and AFM, you should learn an awful lot.
I have a feeling that FAMA will die soon, assimilated by AFM, since their owned by the same company. I would actually like to see this, for if these two were combined into one new title, that new mag would be very nice indeed!

The ones formentioned are all good reading, there is some pretty interesting stuff to read in them.

**TheOldSalt** · 07-04-2005, 11:30 PM

One day I'm going to start my own. I've got a bizarre new concept which should make it work very well from the start instead of languishing for years.

They're planning to publish a Vietnamese magazine here but I really doubt that. The experts here are mostly with experiences than with science, I think. Then starting a magazine may be very difficult and costy.
I want to join, but I really think I can't do anything... Hmmm
