Doesn't work on android. App crashes every single time

Great idea, needs more fish entries.

Good idea, inaccurate content. Information about what fish are being captive bred is out of date. In the USA look for "Captive bred Biota" and "Captive bred ORA" many many captive bred options.

Inaccurate and this group wants to end sustainable collection of fishes in Hawaii. Do not be fooled

Paul Poeschl

This app is a misinformation campaign by a group that wants to eliminate the collection of fish in Hawaii. Don't believe it.

David Gross

Bad app and very inaccurate

Razvan Caliman

So, I looked this app over and it's a great idea. However they are missing a lot of common fish found in stores. Like Midas Blennys and Engineer Gobys. Both of which I have. They also don't mention many wrasses either. A work in progress I'm sure, but a long way to go still to be of use to an actual hobbiest, but for newbies to the hobby it will help. Unfortunately, the fish that are most incredible looking are of course the Bad Ones.
