Looking for a list of Marine fish

[ZachDemitro]

Does anyone know a good website or place that has a really nice selection of fish or just information about fish. I seem to constantly find new fish and never know the names. LiveAquaria has a okay selection but they are still missing some fish. Just looking for info with pictures and names. Thank you for your time.

These are my preffered sources of information:

https://www.liveaquaria.com/category/15/

If you want a complete list then: https://fishbase.mnhn.fr/identification/specieslist.php?famcode=362&areacode=&spines=&fins=
Though you'll need a good understanding of taxonomy.

Often a good REFERENCE source is Liveaquaria.com

Very good book. Problem though is last version (3rd edition) was January 1, 2000 and hundreds of more species have come into the market while many are no longer to be found but still a good reference

The links in my quote below have a ton of good info like this, but none of them have all of the info.

For fish pics, info, and names when basically all you know is what the fish looks like, Reeflex, Fish Base (the link above the quote specifically), and Salt Corner would (IMO) probably be the easiest ones to use when attempting to find a fish (especially if you're not well versed in the taxonomy), but - as with all of the databases below - the more you know about what the fish is taxonomically/by common name, the easier it would be to find the fish. (Just as a note here, Salt Corner is primarily hobby oriented, Reeflex and Solar Slug both have some hobby related aspects, the rest are pretty much entirely professional oriented.)

The links:
https://www.fishbase.se/identification/ClassList.php

I'm not sure about any API's (I'm not sure if anyone has programmed an API for reef keeping yet), but here are some good databases with info (some are better and/or easier to use than others):

https://www.marinespecies.org/index.phphttp://www.saltcorner.com/https://www.fishbase.se/search.phphttps://biogeodb.stri.si.edu/caribbean/en/pageshttps://plazi.org/treatmentbank/http://www.coralsoftheworld.org/page/home/https://spongeguide.uncw.edu/https://www.marinespecies.org/porifera/https://www.spongebarcoding.org/http://actiniaria.com/
These last few are either in a different language (not in English) or have both English and another language on the site:
https://reeflex.net/https://doris.ffessm.fr/https://www.nederlandsesoorten.nl/linnaeus_ng/app/views/search/nsr_search_extended.phphttps://www.starfish.ch/
Edit: Remembered a few more:
http://www.wildsingapore.com/https://singapore.biodiversity.online/https://irlspecies.org/index.phphttps://v3.boldsystems.org/

Just to add for anyone interested, a page with a bunch of sea slug related links, including the Sea Slug Forum, which is good enough that I've also listed it below:

I've been doing this for a long time :)

Just indicating, I wish there was a later version with added specimens. Been doing this 40 years and seen many more than in the book. As stated- its a great reference
