Looking for clownfish resources

[paddyob]

I know a quick google will bring results, but I want to ask anyhow.

What's the best resource for clownfish and captive breeding? I might try my hand at it. I know it's not as easy as people think so I want to do some research before diving in.

Thanks.

can't imagine it'd be more than $50 after shipping and duties from here:

http://www.aquaticeco.com/subcategor...rine-Clownfish

http://www.brineshrimpdirect.com/Con...2009-p269.html

disclaimer-I've never shopped from either of these places. Just do a google search yourself.

I'd recommend that you grab this book before you can't find it anymore. It's no longer printed. This book shaped the foundations of best practices and protocols at farms like ORA, C-Quest, Proaquatix etc.

Wow though. The amazon link you posted sells it for $980. Can't believe it.

Hoff's book can be found at several online sources, it's not expensive. It is very dry, though there is a lot of information. Joyce Wilkerson's book is out of print though, and IF you can find it, it will often demand a couple hundred bucks.
