wrasse breeding

[guidedbyechoes]

I know its nearly impossible to breed wrasse, because they are broadcast spawners. Short of having the ocean in your backyard what would you need in order to breed them? I would venture to guess at the very least a large amount of water, live food conditioning, a filtration system that won't suck up or damage any eggs that are fertilized and finally food for the beginning stages of the fish.

i've heard of them spawning in tanks before so the possibility is there. i want to try breeding wrasse too just because it's 'impossible'.

conditioning, spawning and rearing of fish with emphasis on marine clownfish by frank h hoff

(very college textbook-esk)

and
the complete illustrated breeder's guide to marine aquarium fishes by matthew l wittenrich
(maybe a bit less specifics but organized and understandable)

i've found these are very informative resources, hope it helps
and good luck
