Have been going through this relatively new (copyright 2000) book by Robert J. Goldstein et al. Pretty decent. There are some great color plates, and a lot of information. The book tries to give a brief overview of North American fishes suitable for keeping in aquaria. To even attempt this the author has to make some decisions that not all will agree with, but that goes with the territory. Overall very good book to have around, particularly if you have any interest in keeping natives. The color plates show that there are indeed some beautifully colored native fish well deserving of aquarits' attention.
