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.
