Default marine fish breeders

I was wondering if there is anyone breeding marine fish in Calgary or in Alberta. I have had many fish breed in my tanks over the years but have not really tried to raise the fry. Anyone with the midas touch in raising marine fish?

Marine Ornamental Fish & Invert Breeders website is a good source online for breeding info

Also Matt Wittenrich has a book on breeding marine fish

Thanks for the websites but is anyone breeding marines in the city or provice. It's better to talk to someone who is breeding currently than reading a book. I have bread over 100 varieties of freshwater fish and the best results are talking to people who have has succes in the local area. I have had Cardinals and raised them for about 3 months before they died problem is feeding. Tried cleaner shrimp but only to about 3 weeks and then they died. Coral banded shrimp aslo and again 3 weeks only. Any leads out there.
