A
Fishkeeper's Guide to Fish Breeding 117 pages / Hardcover / December 1995 Contains information on breeding several popular species, setting up breeding tanks and raising fry. Discussion of diseases, pests and other problems. |
| Herbert Axelrod, Mary Sweeney | The
Fascination of Breeding Aquarium Fishes 448 pages / Hardcover / 1992 This oversized (13" x 9") book is another of those great coffee table books. Each page features exquisite large photos of the fish discussed in the text in varying stages of spawning, and each photo is treated with a thin coating which makes each one look like an original photo on real photo paper instead of just another page in a book. In addition to this, the book featues breeding information on over 150 different fishes presented in a unique essay format. Though this is different than the common table and chart method of presenting information on fishes, it is easy to gather the needed information and is refreshingly enjoyable to read. Though this book is currently out of print, Amazon.com can try to obtain a copy for you. |

Aquariology:
Fish Breeding and Genetics 86 pages / Hardcover / September 1993 Fairly intense discussion of fish breeding and genetics. Covers common live-bearers and egg-layers. Good for people seriously thinking about breeding fish and wanting more than the usual 'put a boy fish and a girl fish in the tank ...' The best part of this book is the section on genetics, which discusses different traits, how these traits are determined in offspring, and how to selectively breed to obtain or enhance them, as well as detailed information on the reproductive patterns of different types of fishes. |
