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.

Got it. The reason I asked is because I want to get the right minimum recommended number right for your species.

The name 'dwarf rainbowfish' is generic. Stick to dwarf neon rainbowfish which is standard for the Melanotaenia praecox.

Is it Dwarf Neon Rainbowfish or Neon Dwarf Rainbowfish? The profile site I went to, used the latter.

Either can work but I've loathe common names for the confusion they bring especially when a common name is shared by more than one species. Gotta love the term "common pleco" applicable to about 7 species found in the trade. Can't do anything about it. I just stick to scientific names most of the time.

.... 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.

My concern is that someday your database would become bloated with multiple entries for each fish.

Almost every database gets bloated.:thm:

It seems that some of you are having trouble opening the ZIP file which is weird. I believe some of you managed to get it to work after few tries. I still don't know why this happens.

I did figure out how to create MSI based install, which produces two exe files instead. So hopefully for v0.4, I can use that instead. It also allows users to "upgrade" instead of uninstall and re-install.

I understand your concern. In this case though, the database is very small in comparison to typical applications. I will end up with max. few hundred fishes with may be 30 columns max at the end. This DB does not grow the way forum DBs grow as an example since new data are not added frequently.

Ok, I uploaded RAR version as well. So for those who are having problem with ZIP can try that too...

In your case though, what are you doing exactly? Are you extracting the ZIP file into some location then double-clicking on the setup.exe ?
