Tropical Fish Hobbyist Magazine is a monthly magazine geared to hobbyist keepers of tropical fish, with news and information on a variety of topics including: Care & Maintenance, Aquascaping, Husbandry, Health & Breeding, Species Reports, Aquarium Technology, Aquarium Science, Exploration & Collecting. It was first published in September 1952.
TFH contains information on aquariums and fish species that both beginning and advanced hobbyists can use. It provides two question and answer departments (one for freshwater fish and the other for marine fish) as well as regular columns: Ask Jack (discus care), Cichlidophiles (New and Old World cichlids), Livebearers Unlimited, The Planted Tank, Top of the Food Chain (predatory and "monster" fish), The Reefer (reef tanks), Fish of the Month, Marine Invert of the Month, and famed Japanese aquascaper Takashi Amano's monthly "Nature Aquarium" article series. It is also a place where many fish-related businesses post advertisements and notices and event schedules are posted by aquarium societies and organizations.
TFH had an average circulation of 22,600 issues per month in first half of 2007.[1]
Its affiliated publication house, TFH Publications, has produced several successful books on the care and feeding of exotic pets of all species.
TFH Magazine has worked to bring new and improved content to its readers as well as increasing its web presence over the years. They continue to compile features from aquarium authors such as Scott W. Michael, Bill Rosser, and Jeremy Gosnell.
