An easy and effective device for breeding anemone fish Amphiprion spp at Stuttgart Zoo Aquarium

Abstract

Although the Aquarium at Stuttgart Zoo has bred and exhibited young anemone fishes Amphiprion spp for over 25 years, one of the problems of breeding marine fishes, the sensitivity of the larvae of some species to changes in water quality, remained. In 1989 the Aquarium developed a breeding tank which provides a simple method of separating newly hatched larvae from the breeding pair while maintaining the same water system in both sections of the tank.
