  • Scientific names have been added.
  • Displays warnings for species with too much or too little aggression to co-exist in the selected stock. Also takes into account extra aggression during breeding time.
  • Displays warnings for species that are too small or too large to co-exist in the selected stock.

Won't let me open it after downloading it. It says "Cannot start application AquAdvisor from this location because it is already installed from a different location"
 
I'm glad that the scientific names of fish have been included. But, how could fish with more than one common name differ from one another? The "black widow tetra" and "black skirt tetra" in the database both have the same scientific name; so I don't see why it should appear both times...

Also, don't corydoras feel comfortable with other corydoras? For instance, won't panda corydoras and albino corydoras, both maxing out at 2 inches, feel comfortable even if there are only six of them combined? [I've got various corydoras in my tank, not necessarily six of each, but totalling 13, and they appear happy to me.]

Also, is it possible to simply install over an existing version? I always uninstall before installing a new version, but it would be good if I didn't have to do that every time there's a new version...
 
Still doesnt work. Really strange... But I did notice that on version two, to start it up it said 'project' On version three it says AquAdvisor install'

Good point. I thought about this too and for now, kept it this way to simplify the code. The problem is that some people know one species under one name, others use other names. This was apparent in some profile web sites where they list 5 or 6 aliases for a single species. Still not sure what is the best way to present this info in this app yet.

Haha that's actually a good point... :D

Yes I am reading up on the Deployment section of Visual Studio right now. :D I am trying to avoid having people to download their own .Net 3.5 (which I would imagine is not small). I figured out a way to generate normal .MSI but that has pre-requisites from what I can tell (such as .Net 3.5).

Need to look further into it.

Doh... That's not good... I cannot seem to reproduce that issue you are facing on my PC...

The name changed because I changed it. :D But that should not affect the result though.
