Building a Home Aquarium Reference Library
There are times when I think that the ideal library is composed solely of reference books. They are like understanding friends – always ready to change the subject when you have had enough of this or that.

Jay Hemdal provides a candid look at the Toledo Zoo & Aquarium’s baby Bonnethead Sharks and discusses their captive husbandry and breeding.
Captive-Bred Yellow Tangs - showing HLLE?
I’ve seen photographs of wild Black Tangs, taken with flash photography, where they show what looks like classic HLLE lesions, but which is simply due to the camera flash.

Matt, thank you for supplying the links. I will most definitely read them carefully. Dan, I’m sorry if my comments got under your skin. Trust that I will follow this story attentively. (Also, I suspect that we both voted for same candidate and, even if we didn’t, I love you just the same.)Rob says:

I think that this is the right time to invest in more and better ways to breed marine fish. Would be great to someday have captive bred marine fish available for all of the popular species of fish currently being collected. I for one would love to see the day when no marine fish are caught in the wild and only captive bred fish are available and necessary for the aquarium hobby. Our oceans are already suffering in a huge way and many coral reefs are already at the brink of devastation. We need to find ways to repair our oceans and increase the types and availability of captive bred marine fish.Emmeline Marie Suzanne Burritt says:
When you use soil in those mini pots for submersion, is it only ''aquasoil'' which safe for fish? This soil is very expensive, or is gravel alone and sufficient to support the plants? The idea is to have the roots absorb nutrients from the water to purify, I understand.Emmeline Marie Suzanne Burritt says:
