The links on this page will lead to helpful and informative charts on different families of fish. The charts will contain text on any particular habit or behavior the fish exhibits as well as an icon highlighting the fish which should be good starter choices. Check it out I think you will find them very helpful. There is also a large article on good fish and bad fish for the novice, it contains lots of specific information on each fish. These pages are a little slow loading, but I think the information they contain makes them worth the wait.
