Captive bred saltwater fishes

January 16th, 2008

Captive bred fish are more easily bred themselves and thus candidates for the novice saltwater fish breeder.

Literature is available on water conditions, nutrition and larval grow-out.

There are dozens of species of captive bred fishes available today - most are not readily available or when they are - they are in poor health.

This may be attributed to the poor husbandry methodologies used by distributors and wholesalers of wild caught fish -

The market place moves wild caught to consumers on a weekly cycle - the rule is to get them to a customers tank as quickly as possible while they are still alive.

Captive bred fishes have been maintained in good health in closed water systems since they were born - however when mixed into wild caught distribution systems - copper and parasites take over and impair their health.

Logically if a captive bred fish was kept alive for 6 to 9 months before it’s sale - it is far more healthier historically than the wild caught fishes that most often die within the first few days or weeks of being purchased due to poor shipping techniques and cost cutting husbandry.

If you are interested in a saltwater captive bred breeding program including guidance and monitoring services contact Carl at 973-331-9000

A successful project should be budgeted at no less than $1,000 - most of which is for special equipment and supplies.

WHAT IS EXPERTISE?

I consider myself a Discus expert … and I’m sure most Discus experts will disagree with me …. I’ve hardly ever kept Discus and have never bred them ……

then again when it comes to any aquarium fish I feel I’m an expert … regardless of any hands on experience …..it’s definately all the mistakes I’ve made over 50 years …. and mistake by mistake I'’ve gotten better & better

basically the literature covers the basic ingredients for success .. although I caution you to read many, many books & magazines … … this research is important with Discus as well as any other fish available to the hobby …… regardless of price!

emulating their natural environment is rule number one … in some cases such as Discus, the fish are less tolerant and the margin of error is slim or nil ….

Discus HAVE lived for more than 17 years in captivity … think about that …..

ph, water quality, temperature, lighting and physical layout …. it’s not rocket science ….

many fish die because the aquarium keeper loses interest, gets lazy, wasn’t prepared to properly care for the aquarium, or went on vacation :-)

the most important ingredient for breeding fish is nutrition … in many cases knowing something about “spawning triggers” such as changes in climate … rainfall, temperature, sunlight, ph etc will increase the probability of something happening …..

the rules I preach for all aquariums apply to all fishone is water volume … since the more water volume the more stable the physical and chemical environment …. stability is important with the exception of instigating a change as a spawning trigger ….. of course knowing a LOT about the fish you are working with is essential ….

Breeding fish like anything else in life can be easy or difficult depending on how much effort you put into knowing what you are doing …… READ!

Breeding is without question the most enjoyable aspect of the aquarium hobby … the different characteristics of fish offer plenty of challenges and insight into the wonderful world of nature that surrounds us.

The Fisharium is devoted to the concept that understanding how to have a successful aquarium leads to an understanding of how important it is to properly maintain our planet. Conservation, ecology, environment and nature are the most important words in our lives. Now more than ever
