If you happen to have an Iphone or Ipad, there are currently two FREE apps from the Smithsonian. You will find them in the App store under FISHES: Greater Caribbean and FISHES: East Pacific. These are very large apps (around .5 gig) so it might be wise to check how much room you have before downloading.
You can search by name, location, etc, etc. It has multiple photos (where they exist), range maps and most importantly, links to where you can add information to add info for future updates.
This covers a huge number of species not covered by other texts and being free does not hurt.
Just so you know, the reason it is only available for Iphone/Ipad is due to the cost of maintaining stuff on the other systems.
For a quick comparison, there are 21 species of scorpion fish in the Caribbean app, roughly twice that of the next best text.
A fair number of images in this app are mine, so every time someone downloads the Caribbean app, odds are, you will eventually be looking at one of my images.
