Neale Monks has been keeping aquaria for more than 20 years but has always been particularly interested in oddball and brackish-water fish.

Neale studied zoology at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland, after which time he worked as a marine biologist before earning his Ph.D. in paleontology at the Natural History Museum in London. He now writes for most of the major fishkeeping magazines and writes the monthly Fish Health exclusive for FishChannel.com. He recently edited 'Brackish-Water Fishes', the first truly comprehensive account of this increasingly popular part of the fishkeeping hobby.
