False Clownfish

This monograph provides information of false clownfish on their breeding, behavior, development stages and proper management. Ultimately, readers are able to maintain a successful false clownfish rearing by understanding their basic needs and behaviors to provide a comfortable and suitable environment for them. The monograph covers chapters discussing on biology and morphology of clownfish; their ecological distributions and their symbiotic lifestyle with anemones. Feed preparation and rearing tank set-up are well described with supporting figures for both larvae and mature clownfish. The most important chapter well explained on the false clownfish breeding techniques starting from the stages of pre-spawning, spawning and post spawning behaviors. Nevertheless, strong illustration of spawning, embryonic, larvae and juveniles rearing are provided with clear guidelines on feeding, weaning, and water quality monitoring. I believed that this book is an essential asset for aquaculturists and fish hobbyist or beginners who are interested to understand deeper on false clownfish and promote captive breeding program for ecological conservations and environment protections.
