Don't hold your breath yet - its far from being ready but it sort of shows you how messed up my brain is these days. Its a simple prototype really. I've been writing this in my spare time (which I seriously lack to begin with!) and I have not written an application for 9 years. I wrote this in a language I never tried before either... LOL.
Here's the page where you can download it if you have an hour you can waste...

It basically allows you to specify your tank dimension, select number of fishes for each species and it will tell you how much stocking room you have left. I only have 13 fishes in the list but obviously I can expand that further if the concept is sound.
Basically I try to suggest stock levels based on the surface area of water, size of species at adult stage, and what I call "bio-factor". This defines how dirty each species are in relation to their size. Obviously Plecos take the prize here!
Many many things are not taken into account but I hope I can tackle those as well, such as aggression factors and water chemistry compatibility factors.
Any constructive comments would be appreciated.
