AquAdvisor - software to help you stock your tanks!

Great job!!! It says all of my tanks are overstocked by 4-16% which is pretty accurate. I had to uninstall then reinstall. This will be a great program for beginners. I also agree with mgamer about having experience figured into the equation somehow...for example most I know who keep african cichlids mbuna specifically "overstocks" there tanks to curve agression. So an overstocked mbuna tank is not necessarily overstocked just an example. I don't know if there is a way of putting that type of information into a computer program.

Thanks. :)

I had mbuna tank before and I have a pretty good idea on their typical stock levels. In fact my past mbuna tank shows 130% stock on my application which sounds about right. There are few ways to address this - just recognize mbuna as one of the species that should be overstocked, or I could add yet another column for all species and mark some of them as "overstockable" with some sort of warning. Let me think through a bit more on that. :D
 
Some fish in my tank that aren't on the list so far...

Dwarf (Praecox) rainbows
Apistogramma Agazziz (double red)
Leopard ctenopoma
African Butterfly

I know most of those are oddballs, why I chose them...

Great program even without though.
 
Hmm this will make it rather hard to specify species for "albino cory" then...
Yep. The most easy & effective thing to do would probably be to make an "Albino Cory - Corydoras aeneus" with the same condition as the Bronze Cory - Corydoras aeneus. People will just have to use a bit of common sense, I guess. ;)

Ok, I added them in the DB so expect them in v0.4. :)

Are any of these schooling fish? Hard to tell from the profiles.

Yes. I already have one comment saying there are "duplicates" since two different common names with same scientific name. But after some thoughts, I think I actually like multiple entries with same scientific names, just like this case. I think its the least confusing way since I don't know which common names users may know.
 
Yup the dwarf rainbows (praecox rainbows) are a loose schooling fish.

They school, but sometimes one or two will be off on their own, soon to return to the group.
