Personally I keep two small simple fish (translates: easy care) - I love my barnacle blennies. They have a 50 gallon SPS reef all to themselves-they couldn't be more at home.
I have been casually looking at microscopes though anticipating keeping larger fish someday.
Any tips on selecting or using a microscope would be awesome.
So far it seems that even the cheapest student scope would be adequate - a lot more money would have to be spent to do better. Having a USB scope seems like a good idea, and there are super-cheap options out there, but I have yet to read of anybody using one. Any thoughts on this would also be appreciated.
I'd even appreciate just a blow-by-blow of how you get the fish sample to the microscope in a useful form.
