What a useful database. Great for finding out about a fish's distribution and natural habitat.

Yip. Fishbase is excellent. It's been around for years.

Can't believe i'd never heard of it. Despite being a member of this forum for nearly 2 years, i only just came across it - and on the PFK website.

Great stuff though. Especially if you're considering setting up a biotope!

Edit: ...or you could just use this page... http/fish.mongabay.com/biotope_more.htm

I'm working out the details on a S. American biotype right now for a 125 gallon 5 foot tank. I haven't decided yet on a river yet. I'm thinking Orinoco, Negro, Solimoes, or some of river. It depends on the species available in the trade for fairly reasonable prices and how easily I can get my hands on the appropriate plants as well. The plants I actually figure will be easier than the fish to match up with our river of choice.

I can imagine. It'd be good to have similar 'PlantBase' type website for the same reason!
