Breeding Aquarium Fish

If you are interested in breeding saltwater fish, you may want to pick up one of the following books. The Breeder’s Guide and Clownfishes are my two favorites, but the Wilkerson Clownfishes book can be difficult to locate.

The Complete Illustrated Breeder’s Guide to Marine Aquarium Fishes

Clownfishes: A Guide to Their Captive Care, Breeding & Natural History

Conditioning, Spawning and Rearing of Fish With Emphasis on Marine Clownfish

Breeding the Orchid Dottyback, Pseudochromis Fridmani: An Aquarist’s Journal

General Saltwater Aquarium

If you are looking for a book about the saltwater aquarium hobby in general, or a step-by-step guide, consider one of the books from the following list.

The New Marine Aquarium: Step-By-Step Setup & Stocking Guide

Saltwater Aquariums For Dummies

Marine Aquarium Handbook: Beginner to Breeder

The Conscientious Marine Aquarist: A Commonsense Handbook for Successful Saltwater Hobbyists

Coral Aquarium

If you want to wet your thumbs with coral, you may want to take a look at these. The first book here is my favorite all-around pick. Julian Sprung has the three-volume reef series, which are excellent (although a bit technical), but those books are so expensive. The average hobbyist may be more interested in these books because of the information they provide at a relatively lower cost
