2023-05-25	No*****	I have changed my review from 2 stars to 5 stars. My previous concern was with some very noticeable inaccurate information being presented with a fish I'd found and the issue was fixed only hours later! Never seen a developer update their app this fast from feedback. Very nice work.

2023-01-31	Da*****	This is really good, exactly what I wanted. Quick and easy to lookup all the care aspects for my fish and aquatic plants and I can check whether new purchases are going to be compatible. It's for freshwater species only, so it's not meant for marine setups, but it's been one of my most useful app purchases to date.

2023-01-21	Pe*****	Works Offline, has loads of freshwater tropical fish and does a magnificent job explaining the specific care for each of my fish. I no longer have to endlessly trawl search engines for compatibility advice. Pretty much a must have for anyone with an aquarium imo

2022-08-23	Do*****	By far best for fish information and ID. I downloaded another and paid $17 for it. Had to ask for a refund. It was terrible and did not even ID the correct fish. I have raised fish and had all type of tanks for some 60 years. This app is the best I have seen to date. A little more info on fish could be given here I think but all in all a great app for your phone to keep in pocket. Highly recommended. Great list of chiclids...

2022-02-15	Mi*****	Excellent app great for the enthusiast or any body just starting on fish keeping. I am a long time fish enthusiast and after a long time absent from the hobby this app is brilliant. If you are a newbe to the hobby get this app. I personally recommend it.

2022-01-18	Ch*****	I had two fish that I became convinced were incorrectly identified as juveniles of one breed because they never grew, but couldn't figure out what they actually were. Within 30 seconds of purchasing this app, I had my answer. (And was right!) Completely worth it.

2022-01-16	Cl*****	Easily the best freshwater aquarium reference in its class. Great care sheet advice covering everything from individual tank setup needs, to feeding, filtration, lighting, compatibility, etc. Makes purchasing decisions much much easier. The developers are very active and put out frequent content updates for it. It has bespoke profiles for both freshwater tropical fish as well as aquarium plants.

2021-11-14	Da*****	Fantastic app I've had for years and it only gets better with on going updates. It has awesome search option criteria to find suitable fish for things like tank size, social ability, fish length, fish's native habitat, plant friendly or not, desired pH and temperature. Extremely helpful ap!

2021-06-25	An*****	A great reference for all freshwater fish keepers. It contains explainations on all things such as preferred water parameters, fish temperament, tank set up and even ideal filter turn-over rates and fish bio load levels. The developer will add on request any fish not in the extensive list already existing in the app currently as well so all round 5 stars and an excellent purchase.

2021-05-21	Ab*****	I work in an aquarium store, and this is a fantastic resource! I can attest that the information is accurate, and there's a wide range of common freshwater species. Can't wait to see a marine version!
