About the Cover
Choosing an appropriate fish to add to a reef tank can be a daunting task because the fish in the community must not only get along with each other, but also with the myriad inverts in the tank as well. Luckily the sailfin tang makes the choice easy—as long as your reef is large enough, these fish are peaceful, hardy, beautiful, and even helpful, since they consume filamentous algae. Learn more about sailfins and other tangs from the genus Zebrasoma in James Fatherree’s review of these wonderful fishes (p. 48). Photo by Sabine Penisson

Tip of the Month:
The leftovers at the bottom of a package of freeze-dried krill or plankton not only make great fry food, the can be used to "season" other foods to make them more palatable to your fish. Just put them in with the other food, shake, and in a day or so the odor/flavor will have permeated. It's not just dust...don't throw it out!
