are you taking any new suggestions for this web-app ?

I was dearly looking for site which suggest tank-mates for my goldies (which wont grow big and give nice company to my goldies, not that they need any but i want to ).

I came across this ebay store site, it has nice comparometer ( if i can call that ), i really wish you en-corporate this in your web-app , here is the link eBay Store - aquabreeder: Freshwater Brackish Compatible Char . This will make your site all-in-one site.

I always take suggestions. :)

I just looked at that "comparometer". They take few species (or more like take a group of species) then display certain combinations of species based on hard-coded selection process. To implement it that way should be fairly easy. The problem for me is that I already have many times more species with more attributes than what he has already. Having said that, many users have been requesting for something similar - ability to suggest new species based on existing selection of species. This won't be easy to implement but it is on my wishlist already and I hope I will been looking at it in the near future.

Very nice site. I like it a lot. I did notice one thing though. I inputed a 75g tank w/ a marineland penguin 350 filter, clicking update after each input. I then added two bala sharks to the "selected species" column. I then removed one of the bala sharks. It then removed the bala shark from the "Choose fish species from" column" and the bala would not come up even when searched. It only did this with this tank setup (i tried a couple other tank filter combos and it worked ok) Just wanted to let you know. Other than that it has been working great. thank for all of the hard work you have put into the site. It is greatly appreciated.

Thanks. :D

I think there is a bug. Sometimes it automatically presses "Display only suitable species" which filters out only those species that can suitably fit based on the tank dimension. If you look at the button, it will toggle between this mode and "Display all species". Perhaps this is what's happening?

I did notice this but could not reproduce it reliably enough for me to debug it.

- Added Red Phantom Tetra.

- URL format has been changed. Past bookmarks are not backward compatible with the current build. Please re-do your bookmarks if you have them already. This was done so that I can update future common or scientific names of existing species in DB without breaking bookmarks again in the future.
- "Lake Tang" group has been created. All species from that lake has been added, and if a user tries to mix any fishes not belonging to this group, a warning will be displayed.
- Fixed a bug: Sometimes, "Display only suitable species" was getting activated automatically at unwanted times. This has been fixed.
- Total number of species in DB has been increased to 468.

Once again, my apology - I couldn't add all requested species this time around due to lack of time. I'll add it for the next release!

It is annoying that on my dev site, it is case insensitive while on my live site it is case sensitive... Hmmm.

As a web designer myself, i do find that annoying. Although it also depends on what programs you are using as you develop your pages, in the new version of dreamweaver (Cs4) which i use it pops an error to tell you.

If i catch anything else i'll let you know, thanks for adding my Black Kuhli's too *thumbsups

I'm more of a backend guy. :) I don't use any GUI tools - I just use Eclipse to produce a mix of PHP and HTML codes directly. And on my dev server (well, my home PC), I use Apache server.

Welcome, and thanks again!
