Please help us add fish and pics to the fish database!

[revhtree Verified Admin]

These databases are far from complete and this is where you can play a part.

When we are close to finishing the list in these forums I will create a master alphabetical list so navigating will be easier. For now this is how you can help. We need you to go through the fish database forum and create new threads for fish that are missing. Example: If you don't see a topic created for say Picasso Clownfish then you would start a new thread with the title as FISH NAME/SCIENTIFIC NAME, the care info and then you would add your picture. That's it!

Here is the care info we need for each entry:
SCIENTIFIC NAME -
COMMON NAME –
SIZE –
MIN. AQUARIUM SIZE –
FOODS AND FEEDING –
REEF COMPATIBILITY –
CAPTIVE CARE INFO –

By creating a new entry you give R2R permission to use your photo in the database.

So who will help?

THANKS!

If you see any fish we have missed and I know there are several please help us out and add them to this thread for us. I will then move them over to their own thread and stick them. Thank you for your help!
