How-to, tone

This article has some major issues. It's written like a how-to in some places, and its tone is unencyclopedic. The "care level" section was removed on the correspond list of freshwater aquarium fish species due to how-to content. It should be removed here as well.

The concept of this article is itself instructional in nature. The obvious direction of this and the corresponding article for freshwater fish species seems to be to direct readers to species that are kept in aquariums and how to appropriately select them or care for them. Virtually all species of fish can be kept in an artificial setting with the correct conditions and resources, barring a few extremes that may only be dependent on technological capability. "Reef safe" is almost as instructional as "Care level", but I agree that care level is contrastingly very subjective. If many sources are in agreement on a species' care level then stating "This species is easy to care for in aquariums" isn't necessarily instructional… but I agree the way it's presented in the table seems to be.

Feel free to be bold when editing articles, especially when implementing changes that are consistent with others that have not yet been contested in a reasonable amount of time. Rhinopias (talk) 03:40, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Is there some way to delete a whole column of information at once without having to delete the care level section individually from each entry? (If I could figure that out, I would have done this already.) Antrogh (talk) 03:54, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
