The program has the flexibility to handle it so I'd like to correct it if it makes sense. Based on what you just said, I think you are saying given their length, fancy goldfish has LOWER bioload compare to the long-bodied ones?

Yep, they're a little lower. The stocking rule of thumb is usually 15 to 20 gallons (57 - 76 liters) for the first fish and and 10g (38L) for each additional for fancies.

Ok thanks. Will take that into account next time.

What's new for 2009 10 07 build:

- Updated scientific name for Dwarf Loach.
- Filtration capacity algorithm has been implemented.
- Some commercially available filters are listed.
- Filtration capacity estimates used are somewhat lower than manuacturer-claimed numbers to be more realistic.
- Will warn if you don't have sufficient capacity.
- Will take into account your tank's bioload.
- For unknown filters, calculations will not be performed for now.
- Fixed a defect: territorial species are always considered bottom dwellers before this fix.
- Fixed a defect: "Display all species" vs "Display only suitable species" sometimes didn't work correctly.
- Fixed a defect: did not display temperature recommendation all the time.
- Added Fancy Gold Fish.
- Added Longfin Zebra Danio.
- Added more loach species.
- Recommends pH and hardness for selected species.
- Ability to display in Celcius and Farenheit.
- Ability to display in Gallons and Litres.
- Total number of species in DB has been increased to 246.

As usual, please check out AqAdvisor.com to access the online tool.

VERY nice. But I'm surprised at my filter's capacity... 50% less than what it says in the box! Time to upgrade I guess O_O How did you get those estimates?

This is based on my own experiences plus some extrapolations. Just about all manufacturers do over-quote their filtration capacity. When you post for some suggestions on the forums, just about every single time, you will find experienced hobbyists suggesting way more filtration than what is quoted on the box. Plus I am trying to play safe here too... :grinyes:

What's new for 2009 10 14 build:
- Common Pleco attributes have been updated.
- Added Sparkling Gourami and other Gourami species.
- Added Olive Nerite Snail.
- Added more pleco species.
- Does not display water parameter ranges when no species are selected.
- Added AquaClear Mini/150/200/300/500 series filters.
- Added Lustar Hydro Sponge 1-5 series filters.
- Added Electric Blue Jack Dempsey.
- Added Reedfish.
- Added Elephantnose fish.
- Added Peacock Eeel
- Exception List has been implemented. First application for this is to define interbreeding possibilities. Platy-Swordtale-Molly group selected together now reports warning and so does Bolivian Ram-German Blue Ram pair. This will need to expand over time.
- Allows for 2 filter setup.
- Allows user to define filter capacities for those who own filters not on the list already.
- Total number of species in DB has been increased to 259.

New features:

- Updated algorithm to calculate filtration capacity.
- Will auto-fill tank dimensions if user selects one of the pre-determined tanks.
- Help texts have been added for "Filter Selection", "Narrow Search" and "Search String" features.
- Fixed a bug - "Narrow Search" was only searching from common names, ingoring scientific names.
- Added Aqua-Tech filters.
- Added Fluval U3 filter.
- Added Ruby Shark.
- Added African Knifefish.
- Added Banjo Catfish.
- Added Hoplosternum.
- Added Senegal Bichir.
- Added Checkered/Checker Barb.
- Added Bumble Bee/Hornet Cichlid.
- Added Dragon Goby.
- Added African Dwarf Frog.
- Added Head and Tail Light Tetra.
- Fine tuned attributes for RTB/Rainbow/Ruby sharks based on their aggression.
- Bioloads of snails have been adjusted downwards. Received quite a few comments with respect to this.
- Different species of Julidochromis have been marked as incompatible due to interbreeding possibilities.
- Attribute for Bleeding Heart Tetra has been updated.
- Bioload of Khuli Loach has been adjusted downwards.
- Apistogramma agassizii and Julidochromis species have been marked as territorial between themselves. If the tank is not large enough, a warning will be displayed.
- Total number of species in DB has been increased to 272.

Looks great!! I think this last build now covers every species I have!

One comment: Maybe tie the temperature unit to the volume (C if L, F is gallons)?

Thanks for the great tool.

It won't allow me to enter the dimensions of my tank, I can't click in the input boxes, and when i select 10 gallons from the list, I still get the "enter the dimensions of your tank" message. Could just be my computer (or operator error), though.

It'd be cool if you could add a recomended tank size feature. Like you put in the fish you want and it will tell you how big of a tank you need. =)

Tetrastripe the same thing is happening to me. I can't enter dimensions and if i put in my tank size (55g) it still asks for dimensions and deletes my 55 g choice.
