Do we have any programmers out there? C++ and VB will would. My idea is to make a master "fish data base". A user could type in their tank size and a list of fish will pop up. So we would need a profile of each fish (ACs?). This WILL be a lot of work and my not even ever happen. It could take a year or longer to complete if we include every fish, so we may have to cut back a bit. Once we have a group of programmers and graphic designers we can get a group of fish pros to help us along.
FishDataBase Idea

- Start date
Its been done on other sites. Problem is its nearly impossible to include every detail of compatibility and how it interacts with other species.

Something like that would be like taking my current project in class and changing parameters. Im sure i could work out a basis in ethier .net or php connecting to sql or mysql. but who would host a server?
Iv got a free 3gig server for a while 
We can all TRY. I know its almost impossible, but that's what they say about sending man to Mars.

Well lets try it this way my teacher taught me, break down everything in nouns. The nouns will show you the data that needs to be saved and tracked. So whats everything needed related to fish?
Fish
Species
Water Type
Virtual Tank
Tank size
ph level
temperature level
If you can add anymore to this list it will help create a great database to lay down for the foundation.
Fish
- name
- species
- common name
- temperment
- min tank size
- orgin
- ph level
- hardness
- water type
- water temperature
Species
- species name
- relatives(?)
Water Type
- freshwater
- saltwater
- brackish
Virtual Tank
- tank size
- list of fish in virtual tank
Tank size
- width
- length
- height
- gallons
ph level
- low ph value
- high ph value
temperature level
