Clownfishes by Joyce Wilkerson

Yeah, I agree, that's the best one.

I agree that Joyce's book is a good choice (I was one of the reviewers for it). If you want something a bit more broad-based and less focused on just clownfish, my "Aquarium Fish Breeding" complements her book - as long as you don't mind skipping over the freshwater sections (grin). It has some sections that cover genetics, nutrition, breeding triggers, and building a fish room that apply to a lot of different animals (plant and invert propagation also).

Who's the author of this book (Aquarium Fish Breeding) ?

[JHemdal]

Me - Jay Hemdal.

I know it sounds self-serving to mention ones own book, but in this case it could be a good companion to Joyce's book.

p.s. - As I recall, when I was a sysop on Compuserve back in the late 80's or early 90's I responded to a message that was bascially, "my clowns spawned, what do I do?" - I walked the person through the basics, gave my advice, and we kept communicating and pretty soon, I was taking advice from them - and the person ended up writing a book on the subject - it was Joyce!
