Summary: Comprehensive guide, nice photos
Review: This is an excellent guide to raising clownfishes. I love the numerous full-color photos. The book starts out with a nice overview of the benefits of raising clownfish & information on life in their natural habitat. Next, there is a list featuring detailed information on each of the host anemones. Anemone care & physiology are also covered. I found the chapter on species selection very helpful. Each of the different species is described in detail. There is also great information on choosing companion fish. General care of fish including aquarium setup, feeding, keeping your fish healthy & treating diseases is next. A section on breeding clownfish is invaluable. Clownfish reproduction & spawning as well as care & feeding of the eggs, larva & young fish are thoroughly covered. With its expert information this book would make a wonderful addition to any marine aquarist's library.

Summary: GREAT SUBJECT BOOK
Review: This is probably the best written book I have seen on breeding fish. It covers Clownfish history, matchmaking, housing, breeding, and raising of young. If you ever intend to raise or breed clownfish, GET THIS BOOK. I purchased this book because I wanted to simply have some clownfish in my tanks. This book inspired me to go from simply raising these fish to breeding them, and having confidence that I can actually succeed. On top of this it also has a wonderful section on anemones. The is also very well-written and filled with a few stories from the authors real life.

Summary: This Book is Right On!
Review: Though I've only had this book for 24 hours now, I already feel compelled to review it. IMOHO, other authors in this hobby should read this book and try to produce similar materials. Highlight are: -Excellent flow from clownfishes in the wild through breeding, -Well illustrated (nice pictures and nice charts), -Written in a nice voice that is both easily understood by novices and compelling to advanced hobbyists (I'm speculating on the "advanced hobbyist" judgement here since I consider myself intermediate), -Methodical (ie. I believe that hobbyists could follow these instructions and breed clownfishes), -Fun (ie. I bought this book to learn more about one of my favorite SW families, but now I'm going to take the plunge and try to breed them). I like this book.

Summary: Great information, wonderfully written.
Review: When I bought my first mated pair of clownfish (maroons) last month, the folks at the store said, "There is only one book you need to understand them completely...." this one, and they were sure right. This book is simultaneously comprehensive and specific, and it is delightfully readable -- filled with very instructive personal annecdotes from the author and plenty of clever humor. The lone complaint I can make about this book is that it has a couple of typographical errors -- it's THAT good!
