tank, is this true? Is there a good marine life book for beginners?

Emily,

Go to
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/se...917053-1767041 For
starting at $13.85 you can buy the book Sal****er Aquariums For Dummies.
This book is easy to understand and is designed for the beginner. You
shouldn't make this your only source of information but it is a good place
to start.

Lastly, the two animals that really caught my eye in the shop are a black
and white polkadotted eel (I think the tag said spaghettie eel) and a lion
fish. I'm assuming neither of these animals are suitable for beginners.

The above book covers compatability issues as well as what are good fish to
start with and many other topics.

HTH

Thanks for any replies!!

You're welcome
