I think that on TFF the fish index/profile forums are one of the most helpful and under-rated forums, which I dont think, get as used as often as they could be. I think that if even more fish profiles are added then the forum as a whole would be much more useful to even more people. So I am proposing that over the next month (september) that as many people add a profile of a fish which isnt allready on there as possible. I for one havent done one on one of the rarer fish on the forums, and I know of plenty of people in the oddball forum who have fish (CFC, Cane, Mark, Paul_MTS, T1K, KOD, Oohfeeshy etc) which arent posted up on the fish index area. Also, cichlids, some livebearer species, and tetras havnt even been touched on, even though I am sure someone on this forum owns, or has owned these fish. Another point is that some entrys are now far outdated, or have little info which is specific. A post on "Teacup Stingray"s comes to mind, which is a good post, however it is now a very generalised name now that rays have become more popular, and it is a general name nowadays...
So anyone else in for making atleast one profile before the months out?

Bumping this up because I think it's a good idea.

Great idea, I'm all for it too.

Ok well im not sure what to write one on maybe peacock bass but the problem there is different species and different sizes and markings but behaviour wise pretty much the same.

Thanks guys, atleast theres some support
For pbass: if you could give a general info entry, and then elaborate on the range of sizes of differant locales then that would be good.

I just submitted one on the Pentazona barb Hopefully it was correct and should get past the moderator's beedy eyes

I've already done a few.I'll have to go through it some and see if there is one I can add

It will mainly people who have more un-usual bits and bobs, as most of the "bread and butter" species have allready been added. If there is info that needs updating though then that would be even better (in a way) as then the info is all correct.

I have added 2 profiles just waiting for them to be checked.

Good stuff Dev and Mark. I know you did yours on a barb Dev, what about you Mark?

Dat campbelii and silver tiger.

Good stuff, Im gonna have a look now.

I dunno where they are???? There not up yet??

I thought they would have been cos Devs barb profile has been put up, but I guess oddball forum mods have to check them

Suppose.

i don't think there's one on any of the fish in my 20g...

chameleon fish (Badis badis)
gertrude's rainbow
peacock gudgeon/goby
nannacara taenia

And I used to have some scarlet badis (Dario dario)

but i haven't had them very long, i'm not sure if i'd be comfortable writing anything about them at the moment...

I do have a question though, anyone know the deal with Rainbows in the oddball section of the index? They belong to the cyprinid/characin/atherinid forum, but are in the oddball index. it's a bit confusing.

*bumpy*

Mines been posted Let me know if I've missed anything!

Thats a really good write up, really indepth One thing you could add is on the minimum tank size section is add an actual volume. Some peoples small tank may be 5g whereas someone elses idea of a small tank could be 30g. Thats the only thing there I think could be improved upon.

Ammended. I think 15g+ is a good size for these chaps

good idea mike and good profiles guys
the tiger ones are now added
