Do we have any programmers out there? C++ and VB will would. My idea is to make a master "fish data base". A user could type in their tank size and a list of fish will pop up. So we would need a profile of each fish (ACs?). This WILL be a lot of work and my not even ever happen. It could take a year or longer to complete if we include every fish, so we may have to cut back a bit. Once we have a group of programmers and graphic designers we can get a group of fish pros to help us along.
 
Kas i think this would be next to impossible to do on the scale your describing. With that said, i would like to see would kind of product you could put out.

Are you thinking of a web based or a desktop solution?

Something like that would be like taking my current project in class and changing parameters. Im sure i could work out a basis in ethier .net or php connecting to sql or mysql. but who would host a server?
 
Well lets try it this way my teacher taught me, break down everything in nouns. The nouns will show you the data that needs to be saved and tracked. So whats everything needed related to fish?

Fish
  • name
  • species
  • common name
  • temperment
  • min tank size
  • orgin
  • ph level
  • hardness
  • water type
  • water temperature

Species
  • species name
  • relatives(?)

Water Type
  • freshwater
  • saltwater
  • brackish

Virtual Tank
  • tank size
  • list of fish in virtual tank

Tank size
  • width
  • length
  • height
  • gallons

ph level
  • low ph value
  • high ph value

temperature level
  • low temperature value
  • high temperature value

If you can add anymore to this list it will help create a great database to lay down for the foundation.
