 DP>      I'm looking for a good reference book on freshwater aquarium fish
 DP> that includes the following:
 DP>      - How to identify the sex of each breed of fish, with pictures of
 DP> each      - What breeds (if any) are incompatible with each breed (ie.
 DP> fin-nippers, etc).
 DP>      - Typical info such as temperature, ph, etc, etc...
 Axelrods is good, and Aquarium Fish by Dick Mills is full of Pictures
 in color.
 I don't know if still in print, but there is also The Innes book,
 Exotic Aquarium Fish By Dr William Innes and Simons&Schusters
 Guide to Freshwater and Marine aquarium fisgs (300 color pics& a
 Temp,Ph factor and light keys)
 Probably plenty of other good books out there, 
 once you get to know how to, books are a lesser priority, with $$$
 going to buy more fish and tanks and etc ;-)
 So i have not bought many books recently, Simons is 1979, Innes I have
 is 19th ed, 1970s, Mills is my newest with a 1993 print date.
 Suggest you hit the librarys and checkout books there, once find one
 like alot, check at a bookstore, if not in stock, they can see if in
 print and special order it.
 DP> found exactly what I'm looking for in a reference book for my
 DP> freshwater aquarium. Does it not exist, and what I'm looking for can
 DP> only be learned by experience and from the experiences of others?  Can
 DP> someone recommend a book that will meet my requirements?
   I  never got into bredding much so never had a reason for books on
   sexing fish, but there must be some out, check  public librarys, and
   check stores, maybe someone else knows some titles.
