Saltwater Fish Breeding
Hi my name is Andrew <Hi Andrew, my name is Mac> and I am doing a project breeding salt water fish. <Sounds like a great project Andrew.>  I was wondering do you know what type of fish is easy to start of breeding. <There are many saltwater fish that have never been bred yet, Andrew. But there are some that have been bred for a while now.  Many species of Clownfish and some of the Dottybacks come most readily to mind.  <Let me refer you to a couple of different places. There is a thread http://www.fragexchange.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=50, that is all about clownfish breeding with step by step documentation. I hope you'll check it out.  Also, if you'll take a look at the Clownfish book by Joyce Wilkerson and Martin Moe's book on Breeding Dottybacks.  There is also a great thread on this site that talks about breeding fish, look here. . . http://www.wetwebmedia.com/reproduc.htm.  This site mentions other types of fish that are being bred as well.  Good luck and let me know how it turns out.

Bob:
I am happy to provide some images for use in your keynote address at
IMAC.  If you use any, I would appreciate you mentioning ProAquatix.
For starters, the attached zip file contains photos of some of our bred
species.  Additionally, if you would like I can provide larger versions
of most of the photos that you see on our website www.proaquatix.com (I
manage the rights to most but not all of the pictures used).  If there
are certain species or processes in particular that you are particularly
interested in speaking about, please let me know and I will see what I
can do.  If you would like more photos, please let me know what email
size/mailbox space limitations you may have.
Thanks,
Whit Hazelton

The breeding book project Date: Mon, 6 Sep 2004 17:22:59 +0200 Dear friends, finally, after two years of hard work, it is done. Our book is completed and publication is scheduled to the end of September / beginning of October. At this stage I would like to thank all authors for their enthusiastic participation in our book project. Enclosed please find a (low resolution) scan of the cover as well as a list of the chapters and authors participating in the book project (unfortunately in German; if you have problems to understand the German, please do not hesitate to contact me). The Birgit Schmettkamp Publishers will contact you in near future because of the royalties. Once again let me thank you very much for your efficient cooperation! I hope that we can keep in touch to further discuss the progress in breeding corals and fishes. Best wishes Dieter Dr. Dieter Brockmann Gartenweg 3 89079 Ulm - Wiblingen Germany <Outstanding! Congratulations Dieter. Might there be a chance for an English transliteration of the work? That is, if it is deemed as profitable to do so. Bob Fenner>
