Best Freshwater Aquarium Magazine?

[Cichlid Woman]

I subscribe to Aquarium Fish. What bugs me about it is that about half of the magazine is saltwater articles, which I don't read and am not interested in. For what I pay for the subscription, I sure would be happier if I could be receiving a magazine devoted exclusively to freshwater.

Anybody know of such a puppie? I'll order it!!

Thanks!

Practical Fishkeeping is more completely freshwater-- it has pond articles too, and a look round the shops-- British shops! ("Best of the litter... in Bedfordshire")

I generally read all the marine articles in AF, though I'll never have a Mini-Reef in an un-airconditioned New York apartment...

...well, maybe not the "Forty-seven Fairy Wrasses you didn't know about" articles...

there are excellent freshwater aquarium magazines in German, Dutch, Swedish...

...nothing's perfect in life sigh

Cichlid woman,

Most publications are moving towards fresh AND salt water so that there will be more appeal. There was just recently a discussion about this same topic on this thread :

No sample content, though--and the subscription price for a year is around $40!

I e-mailed them for info, though .. and asked for a sample copy (cheekie little devil, aren't I ... )

TFH is one of the better american fish magazines I have read. Not only is the paper stock/printing of a high quality for a monthly magazine(very important I know) the articles seem to be more complete in there information and the aurthors seem to have good scientific backgrounds from what I remember. I pick it up every time I find it on newstands(its not available around here) which isn't very often.
