What is a good book for breeding clownfish?

[Powerboat]

I already have and just about finished the one by Joyce Wilkerson and I am looking for another good book. Any suggestions on books, guides, videos. I just bought a few breeding pairs and I want to attempt to raise their babies. I am looking for as much info as possible before they all start laying eggs. I am picking them up tomorrow and will start my first thread on my breeding attempt. Wish me luck!

Matt Wittenrich's book Breeder's Guide to Marine Fish is a good one to pick up, it doesn't just focus on clownfish though.

best thing to do is get some tanks and try breeding them yourself. best way to teach is to learn yourself, make mistakes and ask alot of questions. its what i am doing.

Thats cool. I am planning on doing just that. I should be picking up my pairs in a day or so and will start a thread on here and hopefully I will get a lot of guidance. What kind do you have?

I have 12 pairs of clowns. 4 laying pairs currently, or were laying before an accident. but i got 1 pair back up and laying already. others getting cozy and FAT. lol!

Dr. Wilkerson's book as a stepping off point and a basic starting on how to start breeding clowns. then toss in your experience and what you picked up and your off and running.
if you want, pm me and i will answer some Q's for you if you like and give you some other info.

Thats a lot of pairs! I thought my 8 was going to be a lot. Do you have a breeding thread on here? Whats your favorite pair you have?

 

[Whip316]

nah, i dont have a thread anywhere, but i read alot of them. i would have to say my fav breeding pair is my Rods Onyx. Absolutely beautiful. my fav pair before them was a very large pair of Blue stripes, that died in a marineland heater explosion mishap. the female was easy 6" and beautiful. i cried when they died. marineland should be paying me soon for their loss so i can replace them.
my Tricinctus is a very close second pair residing in my Solana in a nice flame tip keeping it from getting to dark. hehe

whats your fav pair? any pairs laying?

got any pics though?

Oh No that's terrible what happened! I hope that company take care of you.

I like the onyx too and Darwin pair but my favorites were Latz, until I saw the bright white ones, the Wyoming Whites. They are one of the pairs I am getting. They are so beautiful. I'll submit pictures when i build the thread. You should do one too
And put up pics of yours. I look forward to seeing them. Take care.

heater blew in the sump and didnt trip the gfci cause its not grounded. so it was sparking ans spewing stuff into the system for 30 minutes before i caught it.

i got a large latz WC pair that i adore too. they rule the 40b tank i have all their own. we are moving so i might have to sell them soon.
i love the WW also, its hard to find a pair or even a single, i been trying to get them for a few months now.
pm me your email and i will send you the link to my pics.
