Species section for salties?

[armadillo]

Hi everyone

Wouldnt' it be useful to have some species-specific sections in the saltwater fish section too? Am wondering which species would be good, but for sure clownfish are popular. Any other ideas?

[atmmachine816]

um not really since it wouldn't be used that much since the species specific question isn't used that much. Most people here still come mostly for freshwater since there are HUGE forums dedicated just to saltwater. Just my thought.

p.s. now that your a moderator is it ok if I sticky my topic I made for fish and invert photos in that board?

[armadillo]

I see your point about the salt water section. Funny that. Never thought of it that way but it's true, there arent' that many posts on saltwater in comparison to fresh anyway.

I thought about it but wasnt' sure where to sticky it too. Let me check.

I dont' think you need to be an admin to sticky stuff. I was able to before that.

[armadillo]

OK, just checked the saltwater photo sticky situation.

I've hit it in the middle with the salt-water pix. I'll merge/delete/specify into more or less stickied topics as it develops. We'll see how it goes.

Soooo, I've stickied 3 topics (one started in your name, credit where it's due!):
1- Saltwater fish
2- anemone and coral
3- Saltwater inverts

They're on: http://www.fishlore.com/Forum/index.php?board=27.0

ah ok, I just wanted to make sure I had permission from a moderator, don't want to do anything that I'm not allowed.

the much greater expense and amount of work are the main reasons for the disparity i think.

and more research and that it is assumed it's very hard to do.

true.

[armadillo]

Yeah, true. I looked through it and there's only really one species that vaguely comes back regularly and that is clownfish. And even then, that's like 2 posts in the last who knows how long. I think indeed we need to keep them bundled unless there's this hugely clear trend.

well if you give me a bunch of money laure-anne, i'll buy a SW tank and post a whole bunch about fish other than clownfish!

[armadillo]

Sure thing. Put it on my tab along with... What was it I was supposed to give you again (was in exchange for some of your algae and some of your malachai fry).

lol, i think we'll call it even for a 120g SW stocked.

[armadillo]

You're taking a risk here by not specifying what to stock it with!

ah.. but the stocking i'll do here since it's hard to ship the live animals & all. just include a blank cashiers check. :P

[armadillo]

No, no, I insist. I'll stock it with my tax return form for you to fill. No, no need to argue, really, it's nothing.
