In keeping with the overall goal of supporting the development of an ornamental fish industry in Hawaii, the Center for Tropical and Subtropical Aquaculture, Sea Grant Extension Service, and the Aquaculture Development Program pooled their resources to produce a series of "How To" manuals covering the commercial production of a variety of ornamental fish species. This manual on the commercial production of the tiger barb, Capoeta tetrazona, is the second in the series. The information presented here and in future volumes is intended to assist aquafarmers in overcoming some of the technical constraints of operating a business for the production of ornamental fish in Hawaii. Unless stated otherwise, the methods described have been field-tested in Hawaii. The reader should be aware that the methods described are not the only methods to produce the target ornamental fish species. One characteristic of Hawaii is the diversity of habitats and microclimates throughout the island state. While a particular method presented may be suitable for one area, modifications may be necessary to achieve similar production results from one location to another. The authors encourage farmers to apply their individual experience and expertise in order to interpret and adapt the material presented.
