As pressures mount to develop sustainable sources of aquacultured livestock for the aquarium hobby, reproduction mysteries of captive reef fishes are fast unraveling. The All-New & Complete Breeder's Guide to Marine Aquarium Fishes is the first detailed guide to amateur marine fish breeding, and reveals the techniques and for successfully spawning and rearing more than 90 species marine fishes. This hands-on resource provides comprehensive coverage of the following species:
* jawfish

* marine bettas
* assessors
* gobies
* blennies
* cardinals
* dottybacks
* damsels
* chromis
* clownfishes
* angelfishes
It also includes all the essential breeding steps for each family:
* securing breeding stock
* pair formation
* breeder conditioning
* spawning
* larval feeding
* juvenile husbandry and growth Beautiful color photographs and diagrams help illustrate the species, equipment, and techniques described in the text. An essential for both the amateur and aspiring small-scale commercial breeder, The All-New & Complete Breeder's Guide to Marine Aquarium Fishes is expected to open the door to many thousands of new home breeders--a major step in the evolution of the marine aquarium hobby.

A must for breeders September 23, 2008
Complete, full of ideas, easy to read, well structured.
Great book, specially if you're starting at small or home-scale. It brings you from the general approach to a common and not so common marine species details. It covers jawfish, grammas, bettas, gobies, blennies, cardinals, dottybacks and many more... even pelagic spawners, providing insight into how future acheivements might be reached. The book is very useful as a reference for hobbyists, but also for researchers in the field. This book is a must.
Great beginner book for ornamental fish breeding September 16, 2008
It's a great book covering the basics of how to set-up larva rearing systems, plankton cultivation, and what species would be the best for a beginner to take on.
This book was written for the hobbyist not the commercial aquaculturist.
