Reviews

"A great read as well as an educational book for breeders and hobbyists alike. It gives a realistic (if amusing!) account of the author's experiences both good and bad... Even though Martin is hardly an amateur, having bred marine fishes has previously and even commercially, the tips, tricks, trials and tribulations are very relevant. —Amazon
