These books helped me get a good idea of what I need to do to be a succesful home breeder. One book in particular, covered all aspects of breeding. It goes thru each step starting with how to choose your broodstock. Also touches on the different ways fish spawn, how to look for differences when sexing the animals, pairing, conditiong, larval rearing, culturing live "first foods" like copepods and rotifers. Nutrition is covred thoroughly as is different way to maintain water quality and comaring larval rearing systems. Alot of information, a book ill never give away or sell. Its called "The Complete Guide to Breeding Marine Ornamentals" by Matthew Wittenrich. You can easily find used online.
