Informative books about fish breeding?

[yellowtruck75]

I am looking for some books that could possibly walk me through fish breeding. I would like to get into breeding clowns and other fish once I get out of school and get my own place. I am looking for a book or two that is very informative and easy to follow. I know it is not an exact science, I am just looking for a book that goes through rearing, food and possible care.

Wilkerson's clownfishes book is a must. I also have read Moe's breeding the orchid dottyback.

These are primarily all I have read so far but looking for more. Does anyone know how Moe's beginner to breeder book is?

Another good one to look at would be Frank Hoff's book:
Conditioning, Spawning and Rearing of Fish With Emphasis on Marine Clownfish

For an inexpensive intermediate-level book, you might look at "Aquarium Fish Breeding" that I wrote in 2003. While it covers freshwater fishes as well as marine, it also discusses inverts and plants. The first six chapters discuss breeding issues in general, so this applies to marine and FW. On Amazon, you can browse the pages, something I wish I had been able to do with some books I've purchased over the years<grin>.

I think I am going to get the Wilkerson's clownfishes book and Frank Hoff's book deal on Amazon.

Good choice Both are a must.Though Wilkerson is more about home breeding and Hoff about commercial hatcheries.
